After performing a VIN search at my local Ford dealer, I was able to confirm my 2012 Boss Laguna Seca was in an accident! 
This would normally be gut wrenching for most car owners, but not me. This is not an ordinary car and it was definitely not in an ordinary accident!! There are a few articles on the internet about some very early 2012 Boss Mustangs meeting their demise in a train derailment before ever being delivered to the new owners who ordered them. It also goes on to sadly speculate the auto crusher would seal their fate in automotive history. Most would have thought this āthe end of the roadā for these cars, but was it?
Apparently for my car (and maybe a few others) there was a second chance to show the world how awesome they really are. Now I donāt know all of the sequence of events yet, and hopefully someone who reads this does and opines, but at least one of the 3 Laguna Seca Models made its way to Flat Rock (canāt confirm) or the like, where is was repaired and transformed from street legal Boss Laguna Seca #94 to a 302S-like race car. From there it made itās way to Ford Performance Racing School in Tooele, UT where it was renamed Boss Car #92, served for 8 years as an optional track car upgrade to students attending Fordās performance driving school and also used for various NASA track events.
Early last fall, good fortune brought me to attend one of the last driving schools before Ford Performance Racing school decided to move their Mustang program back east to Charlotte, NC. It was at this time I inquired as to the fate of their Boss cars and was able to spend the weekend thrashing around the track in Boss Car #92. After getting comfortable with few laps at speed I knew this car was right for me and a deal was struck before the weeks end.
Braving an early snowfall, I returned in late October to trailer #92 to itās new home. Nearly two thousand harrowing miles later, it was sitting safely in my driveway.
Since then, I have worked diligently to add everything necessary to make it street legal once again with more planned to track days in the future. It has once again hit the lottery of automotive life as it currently resides with a pair of Ford GTs flanked to itās side.
No story cars are great for someone who wants a gem to cherish, but sometimes a storied car offers something interestingly unique to savor. Boss car #92 has been one interesting story after another, with more likely to follow, and I wouldnāt want it any other way!

Did a Texas Train Derailment Destroy 2012 Boss Mustangs? - FordMuscle
The 2012 Boss 302 Mustang is a limited-edition vehicle, so whenever something bad happens to one, it is truly a tragic happening. So we hope this rumor that not one, but eight of these Boss Mustangs were ruined when a train derailed in Texas.
