Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 2025 - Competition Cars on Saturday the 22nd of February, Stoneleigh Park, Stoneleigh Rd, Coventry, CV8 2LG. On offer here is a very special, period Boss 302 Mustang that was campaigned by John Hall in the early 1970s in the well-known SCCA Trans-Am series. There is a list of period results below and the car is accompanied by a large history file detailing much of its history. There is simply too much to list here, so we recommend interested parties come along and see the car and history file for themselves or ask Harry Whale for more information.
The current owner is a real V8 enthusiast and this example has formed part of his prominent racing stable since 2003. He spent a lot of his time in the US during the early part of his ownership enjoying much success at circuits such as Lime Rock and Watkins Glen with results included in the file. The Mustang was then shipped to the UK in 2013, as the owner lives over here and, after being prepared to European-spec, has been raced competitively in Europe ever since including circuits such as Spa and Silverstone.
The car has been the recipient of significant investment in recent years including an engine refresh by Peter Knight, fitment of AST custom dampers, a new clutch and more. The car has obviously been prepared to a high standard by Richard Moore (Moore Racing)as is evident from its consistent results over the years, and there are a good number of spares accompanying the car including two body panels, L+R front headlamp surrounds, and three spare diffs with different ratios. By separate negotiation, there is also a brand new FIA 302 V8 by Peter Knight. It's currently finished in white and wearing the period-correct 'Boss GTX 302' livery applied originally for the very successful 1972 season.
Quite simply, this is an extremely rare opportunity to own a period race car with continuous history that is available for the first time in 22 years and offers access into some of the best Historic Motorsport around the globe. Guided very competitively, when you consider what the quality and provenance on offer, we welcome and encourage your earliest enquiry.
