After careful thought I am pretty sure the person who chose the colors for the car and wheels was high, blind or retarded when they made the final decision on the final details of this car.  To have an awesome powerplant, seats, steering wheel, interior and to screw up the exterior like this deserves a beating.

This was at the Washington DC convention center in the Ford area.

I agree, everything but the stripes should be body-color (silver).  :P

I have a very fond spot for Boss 302s. In high school I helped a good friend build up a 1970 Boss 302 with all due respect to Bud Moore's TransAM driver George Follmer's car. This was in '71 and '72. It was the classic Ford school bus orange Boss built up to TransAm/street specs, not drag race standards. He was a road racer at heart and eventually won the 1990 LeMans race in a Tom Walkinshaw Silk Cut Jaguar as well as the World Porsche Cup 4 years in a row. Raced in IMSA GTP for years with Dyson Racing in Porsche 962s. That was one make the beast with two backsing hot Boss 302!!! Had many scary/wonderful rides in that car from the front passenger seat!! Price knew how to drive a car... still does. [thumbsup] Cool memories. [popcorn]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

A buddy of mine owned a green '70 Boss 302 back in the very early 1990s. Memories abound...

I had an orange one in '70.

The car they show is probably 10 times the car, but it doesn't do the same thing for me. :-\

Bet he wished he still had it!!! Hell, hope he does still have it!! [thumbsup]

DP, then you had a copy of my buddy's Boss. Loved that color. Good times. My older brother had a 1969 Z/28 and to this day I don't know which I would get if I won the lottery. Oh hell, I'd get both!!! [laugh]

Darken up the red and reverse the colors

Color contrast blows.

Red roof & grille deserve someone to be stabbed in one eye only, so they can live with the shame and see it coming.

I'm an old Ford muscle-nut and to blatantly 'diss' the racing history by choosing colors like that?!?  Unforgivable in my book.  Disgusting.....  I'm out.

The more I look at it...  Looks like a paint scheme you'd see on a clapped-out 4 dr. Neon with all the "racing" parts on it you can buy at a Pep-Boys. 

The car is fast & has pregnant dogin' stuff on it for sure....  Why put a paint job that makes it look like it has to prove it's fast?!?  It doesn't have to prove anything!  Ugh...

IMO, should be all silver, machined wheels (no paint), black stripes.  [thumbsup]

I saw a brief clip online a few weeks back and the exhaust note is sublime.

they should have used the old orange and black color scheme, the "classic" boss colors.

I caught the last five minutes of some show on speed channel just last night about the new boss 302. Looks like they have a few retro color schemes.
