What does paying an extra $6,995 for Rapid Spec 501A, the Laguna Seca package add to the Boss 302? They list for $48,000+ (a little more than a GT500) but are up for sale for $100,000 at L/B. Smith Ford in Harrisburg.

Try guessing before you scroll down for the answer.

























More aggressive tires,

A Torsen differential

Brake cooling ducts

A huge front airdam which increases performance on the track.

An auxiliary center gauge pack measuring acceleration, deceleration, quarter-mile times, and lateral G-force.

A Key with a "Boss 302" logo.

No back seat to make way for a body brace that stiffens the back end of the car.

A special trunk badge with the outline of the Laguna Seca track. Back in 1970, Parnelli Jones won the Trans Am season opener at Laguna Seca in the original Boss 302.

Based on the low production number of the Boss 302's it doesn't surprise me that some dealers will take advantage of this situation to mark up the price of the car.

As long as there are people willing to pay substantially over MSRP for these limited edition cars you can expect the dealers who are able to obtain these cars to charge whatever the market will bear.

The $6,995 Luguna Seca Package is another high dollar profit item but one that a select group of people are more than willing to pay.

The dealers love those low production cars because they can use their relative scarcity to sell the cars for nearly double it's original retail price. All you need is someone willing to pay for the privilege of owning one of these rare cars.

I was reading somewhere that the Boss has a restricter plate inside the exhaust that is easily removable for a much added exhaust note. Very cool feature!

I think that plate blocks off the exhaust making it go to the back.
