    I've seen that on other 83's. Probably a dealer thing or something you could buy at the time. "The Boss" terminology was heavy in the Mustang ads at the time.

    yup, it was just brought back heavily to promote the 82-84 GTs.

    A buddy of mine had a 94 GTS and made Shinods BOSS stripe kit. Looked bad ass.

    1983 The Boss is back. One hot piece of America steel.

    Anyone else remember seeing this commercial on TV?

    I saw this ad locally too, I was wondering if it was a dealer option or some other custom stripe kit you could just buy back in the day and put on yourself. I did see more than one out there that had similar graphics, so I don't think it's a one-off deal. I'd be curious if this was something you could get done at the dealership or if it was just a DYI stripe kit.
