A Marti Report-certified '70 Boss 302 hit $40,600 on eBay—proof that Ford's two-year muscle car experiment still moves money. The 302 cubic-inch Cleveland-based engine was purpose-built for Trans-Am homologation, making this a car that actually raced before it got parked. Clean examples are tightening up, and bidding wars like this one suggest the market knows what it has.

Farley's been hinting at an extreme Raptor variant for months, and next week's reveal could be the answer to whether Ford's willing to bet on a high-speed desert weapon instead of another boulevard cruiser. If it's real, the platform economics make sense—F-150 Raptor chassis, independent suspension geometry already proven in sand, and enough engineering to justify the price tag.
