Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.
Marque analyst note
The Boss 302 market has contracted sharply, with the median price falling to $84,700—a 15.4% decline over the past year against a sample of 11 transactions. This downward momentum sits well outside normal seasonal fluctuation and signals structural weakness in the model's current valuation tier.
Liquidity remains moderate with 58 total sales tracked since our baseline, but the low transaction count in the trailing 12 months suggests thinning buyer interest. With zero active listings at present, immediate availability is constrained, though this scarcity has not stabilized prices.
The Boss 302 carries substantial collectibility credentials: only 8,641 units were produced during its run, and it sits comfortably in the "Highly Collectible" category. Its modern-era pedigree and high-revving 302 engine appeal to enthusiasts, but these attributes have not proven sufficient to anchor values in the current market environment.
Average mileage among transacted examples sits at 8,750 miles—very low—indicating that preserved, low-use cars dominate the sample. This suggests buyers active in this segment are prioritizing garage queens over driver-quality cars, a preference that may be narrowing the addressable audience.
Looking ahead, projections point to material further decline: the base case anticipates a 29.5% drop to $59,676 over three years, deepening to a 36.8% loss by year five. This trajectory reflects ongoing softness in the appreciating-classic segment, where interest-rate sensitivity and shifting collector preferences toward earlier muscle-car and pre-war models continue to apply downward pressure. The high-confidence SELL signal warrants attention from current holders.
