Return of the Mustang GT - The Boss is Back

1982 saw the return of the Mustang GT, only this time it was developed on the Fox platform. Ford also introduced the HO engine, too, which was a very popular move. The Mustang GT HO engine won the quickest domestic car vote in 1982 and it was also really cheap too. 1982 certainly put Ford back on the map with this Mustang and it came with a new advertising slogan “The Boss is Back.”

High Ho its of to the races we go and fans started taking notice that Ford was coming out of its doldrums and waking up to the fact that if you want to sell performance cars you have to produce a car that performs. The HO motor was a hit and would start to draw back some of those highly disappointed fans lost in the previous to years do to lack of attention. The better performing motor equipped with the weight reduction had the rumblings of better things to come.
