Sam Moody's 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Restomod
Sam Moody makes a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 into a Boss 302 restomod as car turns 50.
Many owners have restored their classic Fords, and some of have even resto-modded their vehicles. But few have taken one Ford classic — in this case, a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 — and turned it into another Ford classic, like the Boss 202 clone seen here. Not only that, the owner of this supercharged Mustang restomod wanted to complete this transformation by the car’s 50th birthday. All this is why you have to check out Sam Moody’s Mustang story below:
“My name is Sam Moody. I’ve been a Ford fanatic (especially Mustangs) for many years now, thanks to my Dad’s love of them, which was first passed down from his Dad. I have personally owned eight Mustangs (among many other Fords) over the past 20 years, starting with my very first car — a 1989 4-cylinder hatchback.
“Subsequent Mustangs were multiple 5.0 Fox-bodies, a 1967 Coupe, and then, later, a 2003 SVT Cobra. I have always loved the looks of the classic Mustangs, but my ’67 was not as fun or as easy to drive compared to the modern cars we have today. On the other hand, my 2003 ‘Terminator’ Cobra was my favorite Mustang; so much power on tap yet so much reliability and drivability for everyday use. Here is where my idea was born — to merge a classic Mustang with the drivability and power of a newer Mustang.”
