This 1970 Boss 302 Mustang wears Candy Apple Red paint, a factory shaker hood scoop, and the Decor interior package, but its owner has upgraded it with a Tremec TKO five-speed to make it genuinely freeway-capable. Add in factory tach dash, rim-blow steering wheel, and a period-correct underdash AC system, and this becomes a Boss 302 built to be driven, not trailered. Watch to see how a fifty-plus-year-old race homologation special handles modern Southern California traffic.

Ask ten muscle car fans to name the greatest of all time and you will get eleven answers and one argument.

Read on for the full countdown and the numbers behind each placing.
