Trans-Am Boss 302 Mustang - Where It All Began
Trans-Am Boss 302 Mustang - Where It All Began
A look back at the '60s and '70s Trans-Am racing forefathers of the new Boss 302 Mustang and Camaro ZL1Beginning on page 44 of this issue is the story of the epic battle of Mustang versus Camaro, with an overview of the '12 Mustang Boss 302 and speculation on the forthcoming Camaro Z28. Both of those special models became icons thanks to the exploits of their forefathers in the late '60s and early '70s SCCA Trans-Am series in which the Boss 302 and Z28 both dominated. This shot from the HOT ROD archives shows Parnelli Jones in the No. 15 Bud Moore Boss 302 at the '69 Mission Bell 250 at Riverside Raceway in California. Mark Donohue, in a Penske Z28, went on to win that race, and GM won the manufacturer's championship on points, even though the Boss 302s won more individual races than the Z28s. In 1970, Parnelli was still with the Bud Moore team but in the more familiar yellow-and-black Boss, which won that year's championship. Makes you wish there was a revitalized Trans-Am for the '12 season, doesn't it?
