Boss Mustang Star of Shannons Autumn Auction
A stunning Grabber Blue 1970 Boss Mustang 302 Fastback with all matching numbers is one of the highlights of Shannons Sydney autumn auction on Monday May 7. One of just 737 built with the W-code Drag Pack option, the car has been the subject of a fully documented restoration by its former Californian owner less than two years ago. It is now in immaculate condition both inside and out, having covered only around 400 miles since. In muscle car terms, the Boss models built in 1969-1970 have grown in stature to become some of the most desirable Mustangs of all. The Boss 429 was essentially a big-block dragster while Ford used the Boss 302 to homologate the Mustang for the SCCA's Trans-Am road racing series, where engine capacity was restricted to 5.0 litres.

Divorce and second marriages can add to the tension, as children and stepfamilies vie for valued objects. Now, families and estate planners increasingly are turning to a number of novel strategies, including family auctions and a round-robin selection strategy, to divide tangible property without splitting families apart. Recent online tools also can help family members divide up a parent's belongings.
