1971 Ford Mustang

Description

Vehicle Details
For many muscle car collectors, 1971 marked the end of American manufacturer’s ability to build true horsepower under the hood. At Ford, they said goodbye to their Boss 302 and Boss 429 models and made way for a new Boss 351! With just 1,806 built in the one-year only offering, they are very scarce on the open market today. Only about 600 or so are still known to exist. They were fitted with all the premier performance options as standard equipment leaving little necessary to check off on the order from! This included standard High-Output 330 horsepower Cleveland 4-bolt main engine with Dual Ram Air Induction, large port cylinder heads & valves, solid lifter camshaft, aluminum valve covers, Competition Suspension with staggered rear shocks, 4-speed wide ratio manual transmission with Hurst shifter, 3.91 high performance rear axle ratio with Traction-Lok, power front disc brakes, Instrumentation Group with in-dash tachometer, color-keyed racing mirrors, Special Cooling Package, Grille Sport Lamps, front spoiler, and High Back bucket seats! This 1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351 (R code) Sportsroof is repainted in the original color rare Bright Red (3) and has its original Black Clarion knit/Corinthian vinyl (5A) interior! This beautiful example remains largely original and retains 95% of it’s original equipment throughout! The number’s matching 351ci V8 engine, transmission, and rear end are fully intact with original components. This includes special CHROME Boss 351 Ram Air breather assembly, finned aluminum valve covers and more! Items not original that were changed very early on in the cars life by the first owner were the carburater, intake manifold, distributor and exhaust manifolds. These items were replaced in order to gain even more horsepower… with a holly carb, performance aluminum intake, distributor & headers. For the purest who wants it bone stock, these items can still be found and purchased to bring the car back to 100%. These 11.7:1 compression engines were incredibly powerful and came with less weight proving them as street worthy threats to big block opponents, especially with these mods! Ordered options on this Boss added a Philco pushbutton AM/ 8 track radio, full center console, sport deck rear fold down seat and special Décor Group: knitted vinyl on seats, black instrument panel faces, deluxe two-spoke steering wheel, molded door panels, and rear ashtray. This car has the added chrome 15x7” Magnum 500 wheels fitted with BF Goodrich Radial T/A white letter tires that really give it a stellar appearance! This particular Boss 351 was ordered new from Mcgee Murphy Motors, Inc. in Rawlins, Wyoming and sold in March of 1971 according to the Deluxe Marti Report. Through research and word of mouth, I have found that It traded hands only two times before making its way to me! I am the 3rd owner with the 1st owner keeping the car in Wyoming until around 1995. This car has been meticulously maintained by the previous owners and myself. Always garaged, never driven in bad weather, beautifully detailed and best of all, very low original miles. Only 64,770 on this baby!!This vehicle represents one of only 33 examples built with this paint and trim combination and breaks down to 1 of 1 on the deluxe Marti Report, possibly making it one of the rarest Boss 351 vehicles you will ever have the chance to own! It will also come with the original dealer invoice, original owner's manual, Deluxe Marti Report, original Space Saver spare tire and inflator bottle, scissor jack, folding lug wrench, original FORD keys, original owner card, deck lid tire changing instruction sticker, engine inspection stickers, and more! Most documentation is in a large color matching frame and ready for show. This car is beautifully detailed, and continues to run and drive awesome!
