It was the end of a turbulent yet exciting decade. France's DeGaulle and Egypt's Nasser had died and the Beatles had disbanded. But the issues of the 1960s still loomed large for better or worse: anti-war protests became more common and vociferous; the first Earth Day was organized to draw attention to environmental concerns; and political conflicts in the Midesat, Southeast Asia and Europe seemed increasingly fragile.

One stalwart of the previous decade, the record-breaking Ford Mustang, charged into the '70s with plenty of muscle and good looks. The 1970 Boss was distinguishe by the classic design and sporty styling that made the Mustang a timeless American classic. And the 1970 Boss was propelled through space by a 429 cubic-inch engine that delivered an impressive 375 horsepower at 5600rpm. With louvered rear windows, simulated air scoops and a functional front spoiler, the Boss Mustang looked like a mighty muscle machine, even when standing still.

Now, the 1970 Boss Mustang combines with another classic that spanned the decades, Coca-Cola, in a unique and impressive die-cast model. Precision-engineered and customized with Coca-Cola graphics and the memorable logo "It's the real thing" slogan, your Coca-Cola 1970 Ford Boss Mustang is precision-engineered and authentically detailed. It is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
