1969 Boss 302 values
« on: January 28, 2022, 08:57:08 PM »
This one is a cringe worthy read.  Has anyone here heard of a Ford Mustang Boss 8?  And was also available with a Boss 351?  And some have sold at auction for over $1,000,000?  Neither did I.

I seem to recall that this same author had penned an earlier article that she did not bother to fact check either.  Opinions?

The perils of not fact checking and proof reading.  I tend to like to research the details behind every story I write because I know that there will be those in the know who will find fault should I not present accurate details.  In such circumstances, I would not find fault for them finding fault.  Besides, it ruins a good read.  Pictures are nice in this article though.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

No offense, but I'm amazed at how many learned people get sucked into clicking articles at such "Click Bait" web sites. Articles lacks so much, as deathbed has already stated.
