Default More Grabber Blue Boss 302 pics

Tons of pictures of the Grabber Blue Boss 302 that sold at Barrett-Jackson, plus the video of the sale in case you missed it on tv:

Well, for a one of a kind car... some memorabilia , and a $400,000 tax write off... it's not a bad deal.

These special built auction cars are typically sold to benefit a charity of some sort or another, in this case the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Don't think for a moment this guy paid $450K for a Mustang. He paid the same $45K that someone buying any other BOSS302LS would have, then donated $400K to charity, which is going to help his Tax situation greatly.

Imagine how much this thing will be worth 40-50 years down the road

I doubt it will get driven much, and probably most of the regular Boss 302s won't see much driving time as well.

there are very few cars that appreciate in value at a point that would make you money over just putting the same money in a bank. So you might as well drive them.

Its only $40k, I see a lot of people driving them around. Maybe not the LS packages but the regular ones sure. I still see super snakes around every once in awhile

Yeah but think about, how much would a mint 1969 1 of 1 Boss 302 be worth today. Hell even a normal Boss in decent condition will be worth a lot. I think this car will definitely appreciate in value, as long as it's kept somewhat clean.

It's probably a better investment than putting it in the bank (at least the way the economy is going, but let's not go there)
