Where do you all get the idea that the plan was to only have a two year production plan for the Boss. I never saw anything specifically stating there would be only a two year production plan. Very bad idea not to continue production of the Boss 302. How can Ford expect to attract repeat customers when they jerk the model like the Boss away from future production. Ford does not yet produce a sports car. They need all the high performance Mustang models to make up for their lack of not offering a sports car. Very poor marketing to drop the Boss 302.

The 2 year run just like the '69 & '70 was what I had heard and read all along. Not sure why this is coming as such a surprise. Get yours if you want one now or wait for the right pre-owned model to come along.

yes, just 2 years for the Boss 302....
BUT 2014 Boss 351 with Shelby's motor without blower...
any bets on that one?
Here's my guess:
Ford will make a 2014 Boss 351 525hp MSRP $55k++ only 1000 units...
.......this will clear out the 2014 before new body of 2015...........

They have already used the 5.4 block with a supercharger on the GT500 and an NA intake on the F150. I don't think its such a big leap to do so on the 5.8.

But....
If there were any evidence to suggest that was true, I don't think the image posted by the OP would indicate a deletion of the series as a whole. Deletion of BOSS 302, that might leave some hope. But the series... Meh... The BOSS boat has sailed IMO.
