What is a 1970 Boss 302 survivor car worth?

There's one being auctioned near me this morning, 70,000 miles. VIN number indicates it is a Boss according to the VIN decoder I found. Going to go see what it brings. It looks and is held out to be original. It needs TLC though nothing major from the photos. They are also auctioning a 1968 GT500KR, 428 4 speed, same general condition 61500 miles but it's been hit in the front end, not a hard hit but needs bumper, nose piece, grille, hood looks OK.
Oh, and some other thing, a 1971 Road Runner 440 4 speed. Not a Mustang so not interested.

How much are you willing to pay? I'm no expert on old Mustangs but it will be worth more if it has the original engine block.

A good friend of mine is the second owner of a 1969 Mach 1 428 CJ R code. He's owned it since 1989 and purchased it directly from the original owner and has all the original paperwork. He monitors the value closely and from a recent conversation the value of his car is down and looking soft. So maybe the one you're looking at will go for a reasonable price. Good luck!

LOL! I'm already the owner of 1 too many Mustangs according to some people, and I've still got (mostly) stock exhaust! I'm just going to see these two Mustangs sell out of interest in the brand. It looks pretty original to me and is purported to be so, but who knows?

Back in the day.."68-"70, everybody had something to sell you and most were pretty good!...After '70, things took a down swing with gov't regs and Ins hikes kicking in. This new age of muscle is impressive, to say the least!!!!!!!!!!Way back when, A friend of mine had a "69 Coronet RT 440 Magnum 4 spd...My "68 Olds 442 had a hard tyme keeping up...........

So the Shelby sold for $100K even, the Boss 302 $64K and the Road Runner went for $45K, Canadian bucks so what's that, about $500 bucks US?

Seriously though, I was very surprised at those prices since the two Mustangs both needed a lot of work, they were much rougher than the pictures showed. The Boss had a pop bottle of gas sitting in the engine room with about a foot of hose to the fuel pump! It had a lot of obvious issues with the body and the interior needed a complete do over. And the Shelby was in even worse shape. The Road Runner seemed to be in better shape, but clearly not nearly as much interest in it as the two 'stangs. Ton of people there.

In 1982 you could buy one for $4K..lol

Had the chance to buy an unrestored driving '70 B302 Lime Metallic with the 430/oil cooler from a Ford Dealer we did business with. Still had the rev limiter etc. $11K. The car was solid/complete and painful to know what it would be worth today but in 1995 dollars it was worth a lot more than me.

'68 -'70 Road Runners were more collectible....Body change in '71 with lower HP may attribute to the decline in interest and price.With the Shelby and Boss not being in Pristine shape, I'm surprised how much they went for...especially considering Canadian dollars.
