1969 Ford Boss 302 Mustang #15
Originally Driven by Parnelli Jones and George Follmer
This is a factory-built and sponsored car, driven by two hall of fame drivers, in one of the most alluring eras of racing.
This was the first Boss 302 Mustang seen in competition (Parnelli Jones, February, 1969 Daytona Citrus 240). This chassis was then driven by George Follmer in the first half of the 1969 SCCA Trans-Am Championship.
This car, often referenced by its VIN (9F02R112074) was one of only three cars that Kar Kraft built as a turn-key race car. Following its build, it was sent to Bud Moore, and was the first 1969 to race professionally (Parnelli Jones in the February 1969 Daytona Citrus 250).
Following this first race with Parnelli Jones driving, it became the car that George Follmer piloted for the first part of the 1969 SCCA Trans-Am season.
Following damage sustained in a wreck during this season, this car was kept at Bud Moore Engineering. The car never raced again and was purchased directly from Bud Moore Engineering in 1982. The car was then meticulously restored to its earliest 1969 livery and sheetmetal configuration.
