  • 2018 Ford Mustang press shot with fifth-generation Mustang Boss 302 in background

    Hot on the heels of this past weekend’s revelation that there might be a new Mustang Bullitt on the way, an Easter egg tucked away in a press photo for the updated 2018 Mustang hints that a Mustang Boss 302 could be coming too. CJ Pony Parts (via Fox News) was the first to notice that in an interior shot for the 2018 Mustang, Ford placed a fifth-generation Mustang Boss 302 in the background. But why would Ford place another car in the photo, let alone a fifth-gen Boss 302, if there wasn’t something more to it? A Boss 302 is just what the Mustang needs to take on the Chevrolet...

  • 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am owned by Burt Reynolds

He even drove the car up on stage and met with the winning bidder. This was Reynolds’ fourth Bandit-style Trans Am going under the hammer in recent years. The phenomenon kicked off in 2014 when an original “Smokey and the Bandit” promo...
