“Concourse restored BOSS 302” I guess they don’t know the definition…

Listings like this are why dealers get a bad name. https://www.volocars.com/auto-sales/vehicles/19028/1970-ford-mustang-boss-302
I've been looking for a solid driver quality BOSS 302 for a while and came across this one at Volo auto sales. The "Concourse Restored" caught my attention.  It would be easier to list what's correct than what isn't. But what really caught my attention was the undercarriage pictures.  This BOSS must have taken one hell of a hit to have the floors that wrinkled.  I couldn't resist and sent a few emails asking questions and then followed up with a call.  They swore the car is up to concourse standards and everything is correct.  When I questioned the wrinkled floors it was danced around and finally said it was minor and nothing to be concerned with.  I can't imagine someone buying this expecting a really correct car and being told the truth after. 
6 years ago I bought a super nice survivor 70 MACH1 from them. 90% original paint and never touched under the hood.  Had a knowledgeable friend check it out and agreed it was a super clean survivor.  Closed the deal after a week of haggling and it was delivered a few weeks later.  Almost hit the floor when I opened the hood.  They decided to fizz can the entire engine to freshen it up since it had been there a while.  They were like oh well.. after a few weeks of calls and finally threatening action they finally agreed to refund a good chunk of money. 
Still boggles my mind how people will buy cars with never having them checked out.

Step one:

They should learn the difference between "concourse" and "concours" and be consistent.


A concourse is a large, open, and often busy, space in a public building—such as an airport terminal, railway station, or shopping mall—where pathways meet and crowds gather or pass through.

A Concours (or Concours d'Elegance) is a French term meaning "competition of elegance," referring to prestigious, judged exhibitions of classic or luxury automobiles.

The floor? Oh that was transportation damage while on route to the dealership. Was there always.

Typo on my part. Autocorrect added the "e" on concourse... damnit it did it again concours. I hate all this technology that is supposed to make life easier

Oh, that was directed at the dealer...they have it listed both ways

It looks like something blew up or it ran over something big?

Can't you have a Concours event on a concourse ?
Then again, why do I drive on a parkway, but park in a driveway?

Normal. No mention of so many things.
What do you expect?........
Maybe next time they will spring for a correct radiator

Or a smog system?

Fell off the auto carrier is my best guess? There is a lot of "product" on that underside

      I'd say a head-on direct "hit" on the passenger side frame horn, hard enough for the sub-frame to push and fold the floor pan!  If I was curious enough, I'd look forward of the "crinkle" on the sub-frame snout for any evidence of where tooling attachment was made to pull it all back forward again.  But of course, as bent as that floor is and in the manor that it has been folded, it's also probable that the sub-frame(s) were just replaced, including perhaps everything else forward of the firewall!
