After campaigning the Boss, Roger Briere, who owned a performance shop, converted it into a high-powered street muscle car, and painting it black.

The car changed hands to a prominent person in Quebec involved in the building of the Montreal Olympic Stadium.

Jean Elliott acquired the 1969 Boss 302 from said person, who sold it to Francois Huppe.

Prior to Francois buying the car, it had been sitting for a very long period of time; whether this was during the ownership of the buyer previous to Jean Elliott or Jean Elliott himself is not currently known.

It is known that Francois Huppe of Vercheres, Quebec, Canada did register the Black 1969 Boss 302 for very occasional, probably “spirited” street duty. 

Mark Larsen purchased the then Black 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Racing Car from Francois Huppe on April 15, 2016 after seeing it on the internet; and calling, speaking to the then owner Francois, and seeing the car in person.  It had 60,853 miles on the odometer with a Quebec DMV registration card.  Documents of the sale included a written sales agreement with formal Bill of Sale, DMV, and Canadian - U.S. customs documents completed.  On the second trip to Canada, Mark trailered the Boss himself by enclosed trailer down through customs into the United States, and home in Connecticut.

·    Historic Festival-36, Lime Rock Park, Connecticut (August 30 – September 3, 2018), registered early for the event and attended.

            CASC Logbook has not been discovered, if they were issued between 1969 – 1971.  Race History derived directly from CASC website and period photographs.

Marti report is supported by Ford Factory VIN numbers on Windshield VIN Tag, fender apron VINs on both driver side and passenger side, door tag, and build or “buck tag”.
