An all original, numbers matching Boss 302 that is in good shape is going to be worth a lot. I'd estimate a bit more than $20K that MAD_DOHC suggested.

way too hard to tell without looking at it, numbers matching would make a big difference for a collectible car like that. But if it's all numbers matching and ready for show then you can be around 50K if it's somehow significant or still has all original paperwork then it can be nearly twice that.
Of course i'm not a ford guy and this is what i looked up at a couple sites in a few minutes, again without seeing it it's difficult to compare to similar mustangs.

i don't think too many cars made in 1969 got 25+ mpg. or whatever would be considered "good" mileage.

Even with 60s carb technology?
Good luck with that though, having a Boss 302 would be sick..
