Ford on Friday offered a glimpse of its assembly process for the Mustang Boss 302S race car by hosting a tour of the Niche Build Line adjacent to the Mustang assembly plant in Flat Rock, Mich. The Niche Build Line, when not assembling race cars, is where prototype vehicles are assembled prior to full production.
Mustang bodies-in-white are first taken to an outside vendor, where roll cages are installed. The cars are then returned to the Flat Rock plant where they go through the same paint shop used for street cars before being taken to the Niche Build Line. There, workers spend nearly three days finishing each car’s assembly.
The 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 engines are built at the Ford Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario, and delivered to Flat Rock, where Tremec six-speed transmissions are bolted on before the entire assembly is fitted into the car.
Just 20 Boss 302S cars will be built in this first batch, with another 20 set to be built later in the year. The nonstreet-legal cars retail for $79,000 and, along with cars such as the Mustang Cobra Jet drag car, are an example of Ford’s commitment to produce factory-built, grassroots race cars.
