Boss 302 (NASA - AI) For Sale on EBay - No Reserve

[KBBOSS1086]

Thought I'd pass this on in case anyone is looking for a American Iron Boss. It looks like a well put together car. I'm not sure about the Eibach R2's on this level of a build but everything else looks to be top notch.

That's nicely setup but it has Eibach dampers? Is that what's allowed in AI? Don't let Gary see this. ;D

Looks like it's put together really nicely, specially the cage.

Is there something wrong with the R2's?

Nothing at all but I would have expected something a bit more high end. Penske, JRi, Multimatic etc.

There is no spec shock or cost limitation in American Iron. I think the R2's are a good street / track damper but wouldn't think they're on par with what most top AI cars run. Or...maybe they are just better than most of us think. I'd be interested in finding out how competitive this car is/was vs the cars that might have the sach's or dynamic coilovers that come on the 302s or good set of Penske's. They might have switched out a high dollar setup and put the R2's on before they put it up for sale.

The cage is very nice...it was built from a body in white, which is what they use on the 302s/r. The body in white used in the 302r is seem welded and costs about $18k by itself.

There is a another really nice 2005 NASA Spec Iron (Mustang) race car on racingjunk.com built by Capaldi for $29,900.

That's what I was thinking too.

Nah this one is "dollar intensive" enough for me. But I still like to look

I have a question for you, which you may choose not to answer

If you were to do it over again, would you build your own racecar again, or would you consider buying a built car in the 50-60k price range?

I'm just trying to get some insight so I can make better decisions in the future.

I couldn't afford plopping down 60-100K on a built car, so that pretty much made the decision for me right there. Plus I got to enjoy my car on the street for a couple years (while I paid it off, as well). I'm very pleased with how my car turned out, however.
