Eric Tscherne of the JLFT Team gave readers a great peek at the new Boss 302 Mustang coming out in Mix E. This pretty pony will come dressed in House of Kolor Candy Blue with silver striping and features an opening hood which will reveal a chromed out 302.

The picture shows the ’stang wearing Foose Ascot wheels, but the production run will have Foose Nitrous rims just like the final build on OverHaulin had. A larger scale version will appear in stores in mid-2007.
