Dan Gurney’s 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Trans-Am – Click above for image gallery<\/small>
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nHere’s your chance to lay your hands on a piece of muscle car history. One of Dan Gurney’s 1969 Ford Mustang<\/a> Boss 302 racecars is up for bid on eBay Motors with a chilly Buy it Now price of $1.1 million. The car campaigned in a number of race series, but the biggest feather in its cap is that it helped Ford secure the silver in the 1969 Trans-Am manufacturer championship. According to the listing, this particular example was the prototype for the rest of the Trans-Am Mustangs driven that year, and it was built for Caroll Shelby’s<\/a> team by Kar Kraft. <\/p>\n

Gurney whipped the car around the track at Kent and used it for practice at Sears Point, but Peter Revson piloted the Boss to its best finish of the ’69 season – fourth at Laguna Seca. After Shelby walked away from the Trans Am<\/a> series, the Ford spent some time as a wind-tunnel test car and made its way around a variety of race circuits, nabbing an SCCA Championship along the way. In 2003, it was restored to its 1969 configuration in concourse condition, complete with a 527 horsepower 302 under the hood. <\/p>\n

The auction includes a mountain of documentation, including signed letters of authenticity from Carroll Shelby himself, Kar Kraft engineering drawings and a stack of period photos of the car going fender to fender. Hit eBay Motors to check it out.<\/p>\n
