I dunno. :unsure:
I think the proper response would have been..”.I’m down with that”!

Not a colloquialism of my age cohort. My daughter would never believe that my friends and I called things "boss", when in junior-high and high school, even when I showed her that Ford had a "Boss 302" version of the mustang:

For a while I lusted after a 1969 or 1970 mustang Mach I. I called my insurance lady to ask about rates and she said, "just don't get a Boss 302" The rates were double or triple as I recall. I gave up on the Mach I idea after looking at many, many examples. Unless one were willing to spend about $30,000.00 (back in the early 1990's) for a "ground up restoration", all of the Mach I's had rattles, loose doors, tears in the upholstery, suspicious looking modifications under the hood and elsewhere, etc., etc.

Very cool. Yes it is quite boss if I do say so!! I was never able to get the real deal myself, but I got a lot mileage play pretending with this baby. In 1969, Hot Wheels put out this beauty, the Boss Hoss. Sadly, this is just a pic from the internet. Mine, I just played to death.

FWIW, I'm one of you. My HS job was working in a "speed parts" Auto Supply. Back then I could tell you mustang stuff like, whether a shaker hood scoop was a dealer or a factory option. Also, FWIW, I would have opted for the 69 with a 351C. I think the 70 is snazzier in it's own way but it was a heavier year and there was also something about the wheelbase that made the 69 functionally better. I may not be remembering that part right. Maybe it was that you cold get a Detroit locker with with a Muncie 4 speed top loader? I can't remember....
