Right from the top, we'll admit that this '69 Boss 302 has been restored, even though the mileage is only 13,400. But what's remarkable is that the restoration was performed by Bob Perkins in 1981. After 29 years, the car is still considered one of the best and most concours accurate '69 Boss 302s in existence. In fact, just last year, the yellow Boss received the Mustang Club of America's Authenticity Award, the highest and most prestigious honor for a concours Mustang.

It's the only Boss 302 to ever get the Authenticity Award," says Perkins, who had just sold the car to Rick Campbell when we photographed it. "Back in 1981, it was so far ahead of other Mustang restorations." Perkins also points out that the car has been in good hands over the past three decades: "I've owned it several times. Over the years, it's also been owned by Jacky Jones, Jim Bridges, Gary Swartz, Dick Bridges, Danny Guerra, and now Rick Campbell, all guys who kept the car in heated storage and knew how to take care of it."
