If there’s one thing this Ford Mustang Boss 302 knows how to do, it’s win. This car’s credited with earning the first win for a Bud Moore Mustang (and a Boss 302) in 1969. It also won its class at The Amelia in 2021.
The two-time NASCAR champion Bud Moore Engineering built this car. On April 26, 1969, Mexican driver Moisés Solana scored that first victory with the car in Puebla, Mexico. Tragically, Solana lost his life later three months later in a hillclimb. The first chicane at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, where F1 races, is named Ese Moisés Solana in his honor.
The Mustang features a period-correct V8, and many original parts. For example, while the car still retains its original wiring harness (although now disconnected), it still displays the misspelled “OOF” for off … twice. Details like that and its history certainly helped it win its class at The Amelia in 2021.
