Something caught my eye last year while rifling through historic Mustang Boss 302 photographs. It was a striking gold-on-black 1969 Boss 302 Trans-Am car, and it was parked in the driveway of a building marked Kar Kraft. Talk about history -- Kar Kraft essentially served as Ford's performance and race engineering skunkworks for the better portion of the 1960s, and helped develop both the road-going and racing Boss 302s back in the day. I thought it would be fun to hunt that facility down if I ever had a chance to drive a modern Boss, and I finally got a chance when keys to this striking school bus yellow 302 were tossed upon my desk.
