Documented History:

This Boss 302 was ordered by a Ford employee (E.O'Leary) on September 22, 1969. It was a fully optioned Grabber Green Boss 302 and was sent to the central office building garage at Ford in Dearborn. This is the only Boss 302 T/A car that was Grabber Green from the factory.

From there the history is not known until John Buffum of Libra International Racing in South Burlington, Vermont, purchased the Boss 302 from someone in Minnesota around 1971.
