Optional were black horizontal rear window shades and a blackout hood. It was one of the first production models with a front spoiler and rear deck wing. The name \"Boss\" came about when Shinoda was asked what project he was working on, he answered \"the boss\'s car\" because the project was a secret.[3] Also Shinoda had called it the \"Boss\" as an homage to the new President of Ford Semon \"Bunkie\" Knudson who had brought Shinoda over from GM when Knudson had left. Changes for the 1970 model year included side \"hockey\" stripes which started along the top of the hood, along with the 1970 grille which replaced the 4 headlights with two vents in the outside position while retaining dual headlights within the grille opening. The dual exhaust system was redesigned, along with the competition suspension and a standard Hurst shifter. The intake valves were smaller, and aluminum valve covers replaced the chrome.

This car has the \"G Code\" VIN in two places, but the body shell and driveline were donated from a solid Sportsroof car. The Boss engine was rated at 290 hp (216 kW). The Boss 302 was perhaps created in answer to Ford’s dropping of the GT option package.
