Over the past couple of weeks the Mustang world has been following the strange and lucky saga of Shane McGlaun and of 2012 Boss 302 Mustang #0001. After discovering he had unwittingly purchased the first 2012 Boss to be built, he put the car up for sale on eBay. As Shane explains in his first post as a new writer here at stangTV (Welcome, by the way), he felt worried and guilty about driving this historically significant car every day, racking up miles and putting it at risk to damage, accident, or even theft. It’s probably better for his sanity this way.

It doesn’t appear that the story of 2012 Boss 302 Mustang #0002, which has since shown up on eBay as well, is nearly as interesting as Shane’s saga. But unlike #0001 (which has since sold for $100,000), the #0002 car is in assembly line condition, and in many ways is the perfect museum piece.

Unlike #1, the #2 car has never been driven. We’re not even sure if it’s been started. The seller, a serious car collector himself who had no idea he’d ordered the #0002 car, met the car carrier at the dealership the morning it came in. It is actually an identical clone of the #0001 car, in Competition Orange with Black Accents and Recaro Seats. No stickers, bar codes, or really anything that Ford put on the Boss at the factory was removed from the car.

In fact, the antenna (which is installed by the dealership) is still in the trunk. In other words, this car is in the same condition today as it was when it rolled off the assembly line a little over a month ago. That’s pretty significant when you think about it, especially after the compelling saga of Boss #0001. The seller is slowly parting out his car collection (we’d be interested to see what else he has) and so the Boss must go as well. That’s a cool story in its own right. This car belongs in a collection. There are plenty other Boss Mustangs out there that will be driven. This one has a different destiny (we hope.)
