On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-18-21.
We’re looking at a 1971 Ford Boss Mustang in Blue Paint. The car features a 351 CI V8 engine, with a 4 Speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Fred Kemmerer. Fred’s had this car since 2018. Fred shares he rode in this car as a much younger man, and kept in touch with the Owner until he finally sold it to him. This car has not been restored and mostly original.
To see details on the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show, go to www.MCACN.com
ENJOY!
I'm hooked on this car, too. I love Mr. Kemmerer's persistence in keeping tabs on this Mustang until he could make it his own. The blue & silver paint combo is just fantastic as well. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Persistence pays off :-) You're welcome, Lou
I appreciate your comments and yes I’m a lucky guy.
These things are such underappreciated ball busters

There's nothing like taking your Mustang to a Corvette show. Another great car story Lou. Thanks.
Hi Les, Thanks for sharing. You're welcome, Lou
Fred's car story had the happiest ending; he got the very cool Mustang. Congrats, man. Thanks for bringing all this to us Lou 👍
Hi Bruce H., Nice to have a story with a happy ending :-) You're welcome, Lou
Goodday Lou,
Finally finally my all time favorite Mustang hands down.
1971 Boss 351 Mustang, everyone regards them the ugly duckling of the Mustang world, but I remember seeing this body shape in the James Bond movie
" Diamonds Are Forever " & ever since that movie as a 10 year old I have always loved this body shape Mustang.
These Boss 351 Mustang are actually the fastest Mustang down the quarter mile of all the Mustang's.
The Boss 351 has a larger cfm carby than the Boss 429 Mustang.
The Boss 351 are always underrated.
Back to Fred, what a nice guy, chased his dream car forever in a day & finally ends up with it & he thoroughly deserves it. What a great custodian & that Mustang couldn't be in better hands.
Fred has to be the happiest guy you have interviewed in a long time. All the owner's are happy, but Fred takes it to another level, you can sense & feel his excitement talking to you about the Boss 351.
I think he is in disbelief you are interviewing him, must be a dream come true for him to be on your channel.
This video cheered me up & made me smile so much how you interviewed Fred, you get the best out of the owner's, you are a true professional interviewe Lou, love your style.
That Mustang is absolutely stunning & sounds awesome.
Classic interview 👍

Goodday Louis, Hapy to share this favorite Mustang with you! Good news! Here is one more. Thanks for being my # 1 Fan in Australia, Lou th-cam.com/video/DmbMFRObpjE/w-d-xo.html
lou, to me, this is the last generation of the best mustangs ever built, and wow, a survivor too! an unbeatable classic thanx!
Hi Mouse, Happy to read you think this is one of the best Mustang generations :-) Lou
Fred has a sweet magical STANG! His passion for his car is very evident - and I'd be the same way. Giving him a High Five and his Stang dual thumbs up and a Fonzie "Ayyyye!"
Hi ImTheDaveman, Happy to share this Magical Mustang with you :-) Lou
Gorgeous… This car makes me feel good. Straight up. It is a nice car
High praise :-)
That one blue me away ! Incredible story. The previous owner was both extremely kind and extremely cognizant in the fact that that car needed to go to a new home whose owner would take care of it as well as he did.
Hi Terry M, NICE! Happy to read you enjoy this story, Lou
I’m the current owner... and as Lou said “forever owner” thanks for the kind comments! Check out my interviews with the original owner
An absolutely stunning Ford Mustang! This is my favorite generation and style of Mustangs. This is definitely a car that was used in the previous owner’s daily life up until he parked it. Looks like the new owner has been and will be a great car-taker for his dream car. Thanks Lou and Fred for a great presentation!
Hi Rusty, Happy to read this Mustang is "absolutely stunning" :-) You're welcome, Lou
@Rusty I currently have (2) 1973 Mach 1s with 351c in my family.. mom, brother. I prefer this year only because the front fog lights look better Vertical instead of horizontal imo. Although a 70 triple black boss 429 takes the crown for me.
@@hsllife - Nice!
It was was very uplifting to witness Fred's happiness and enthusiasm today. Thanks Lou.
Hi Brian SD, Happy to read you enjoy Fred's enthusiasm for his car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Gr8 feature Lou! What a car! So neat to see so much of the original factory pieces. And ohhh....that 351 Cleveland - all hail!
Hi Audie, Happy to read you enjoy this feature :-) Lou
Another beautiful car lou, thanks for the upload, and it had the right amount of pedals, the car had a great story too, I really enjoyed this one!!!
Hi Bruce, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
One of the fastest muscle cars in 1971, only behind the hemi cars and the LS-6 corvette in 1971! Had one in the HS parking lot back in the day.....and a girl drove it. Awesome survivor car and one very rare mustang! Congrats Lou to presenting another classic machine from the muscle car era!

Great story......Man that 351 starts so easily !!!! SMOOTH.
Hi Mike, Happy to read you enjoy this story and motor start up :-) Lou
I love it. Great to see the respect these 71-73 Mustangs have gotten these days. I can remember the rear visibility out of that rear window on the fastback mustangs of this class was little to none, compared to my 74 Camaro....
Hi Michael, Happy to read you "love it" :-) Lou
My step- brother Mike had one of these in the mid- seventies.
Had some pretty good times in that car!

Hi Dave, Happy to read this one bring back good memories :-) Lou
I👍having something 😎 🆒️ to wake up to.Thanks My Car Story.
Happy to read you're enjoying the videos :-) You're welcome Mr. Fruity Pebbles
I remember seeing a red 71 boss 351 in the summer of 1977 when I was walking through a housing development returning to 2 a day football practice after lunch at a friends. That red in the sun was stunning. I loved the rumble as it stopped at the 4 way stop. The one I saw had the black lovers over the rear window. One of the nicest cars I ever saw. Thanks again for the memories. Great Mustang.
Hi Greg, Happy to read this car brings back memories of that red car in the Summer of 1977 :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
HI Lou, that is a original story , and a original mustang , and a original guy , that's my car story again great story. Take care Lou , God bless you and your family.
Hi Robert, Happy to share this story with you :-) Blessings received, and God bless you and your family too, Lou
Incredible car and story!
Happy to read you enjoy this story :-)
A frozen in time Mustang, Very nice. Thank You Lou for another great video!
Hi Bruce, Happy to read you enjoy this "frozen in time Mustang" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Wow !! I always like this Mustang as a kid and the color was enough to get me here.
Then i heard the story.
Speechless ;)
Thanks, Lou and congrats to Mr. Kemmerer.
Perseverance paid off !
Hi Glen, Happy to receive a "Wow !!" from you :-) Glad to read you enjoy the story too. You're welcome, Lou
Incredible and beautiful survivor😍 Thanks Lou!
Hi motorTranz, Happy to read this one is "Incredible" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Great to see a bloated Mustang in this condition. As a kid I thought they were too big. I bet part of the success of the Mustang II was the extreme downsize from this version. Fred's story was great! Kudo's to you Lou.
Hi Pat, Thanks for sharing and happy to read you enjoy Freds story :-) Lou
Lou the story even more interesting than the car how he got it classic story. So many stories so little time. Love the variety as well. Keep on keeping on!
David.
Hi David, High praise for this story :-) Lou
What a beauty! Love the contrasting hood paint and spoilers. I had a 69 and 70 Boss 302. Almost bought a Grabber Green Boss 351 but thought they were too big.
Hi 2098elk, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
I was working as a car jockey at a Ford dealership in Vancouver, and got to drive the 1970s and 1971 429 Cobra Jets! W0W! What POWER there was under the hood! The Torinos also sported the 429 MONSTER!
Hi
Mr. BLACKHAWK, Sounds like a great time and good memories :-) Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou
Check out my videos with the original owner on my page ... thanks for the comment!
The 74 XB Falcon GT 351 in Australia had the same bonnet style.

What an awesome Mustang GT Boss 302. It's even equipped with a 4 speed manual transmission making it that much more awesome! What a beauty!
That is a boss 351 Mustang not a mustang GT boss 302
Hi Michael, High praise :-) Happy to read you enjoy this "beauty", Lou
This guy is absolutely giddy over this car . I would be too .
I am... check out some the videos I have with the original owner. On my TH-cam page
You're right :-)
Hi, Lou! You're right, Fred does have a lot of fortitude (or did you say, Ford-itude?) to stay focused on one particular automotive specimen! I'd say that's pretty important when the subject is as rare as this one! It's really amazing the things find in old cars sometimes...window markings, date stamps, valentines, pull tabs, 50-year-old cigarette butts, 50-year-old coffee cups, etc.! This is an ideal "forever car" to have for sure!
That Grabber Blue and Silver paint combo really grabs you, and after listening to the rev-up and the snorting through those hood nostrils, I can well imagine what the ride would have been like! Many thanks to you and Fred for sharing with us one of the most fascinating car stories I've heard yet!
Hi iswc27, "Ford-itude" NICE! Happy to share this car & story with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Thanks for the comment! I love my car!
Wow what a beautiful car and that color paint is amazing. Thanks for sharing Lou, love this channel!
Hi David, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you :-) I appreciate the encouraging words. You're welcome, Lou
100% original paint as well
Love the Silver/Blue combination (personally, not really crazy about that blue alone, but with the silver, OMG!!)! Beautiful beast that is!!
Happy to read you enjoy this "Beautiful beast" :-)
Nice car Lou
Happy to read you like this one Chuck :-)
Beautiful body style and a neat story. Thanks for the video
Hi Roger, Happy to read you enjoy the body style of this car & the story too :-) You're welcome, Lou
And in amazing original condition to boot!!
Happy to read you appreciate the condition of this car Thomas :-)
Hey big bro Lou! WOW-I really don't see Mustangs of this vintage too often, and I love them! Beautiful and far more brutish looking than the 60's Mustangs, I think-and I like that ;). These one in particular is epic and badass in that blue and silver, and Fred's loving on her is inspiring to see and hear about. Thanks big brother Lou!!! :) JV Johnny
Hey JV Johnny, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of seeing this Boss :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you. You're welcome, Lou
Awesome video Lou
Thank you The Bearded Guy Jeff Lawless :-)
Always loved the Boss Mustangs. One of only 1,806 built in 1971 according to my Mustang book.
Happy to read this is one you loved :-)
This has to be the best "car story" on the "My Car Story" channel !! Thanks for bringing this one to us!😉😉
P.S. all Ford vehicles now go through the "water test"!🙄
HI George S, High praise for this story :-) You're welcome, Lou
Beautiful car and a really great story. Yes most of those autolite 4300-d carbs were swapped out for holleys…so an original one is rare indeed.
Hi Steve S, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car & the story too, Lou
the last generation of real mustang.
:-)
Great car story....
Glad you enjoy this story Uri :-)
Another gorgeous Stang!! Love that color!!
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Such a cool car, great story to go along with a great survivor car!!!
Hi Hobiemarty, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
What a beautiful car that is. I have the same addiction that this guy has, "Mustang-itis". I've had 4 since 1988 when I ordered my GT 5.0 and the rest is history.
I saw a Mustang very similar to his at a car show last summer, but it was a convertible. I'm not a much into convertibles, but that one, I'd own.
Hi Daniel, "Mustang-itis" NICE! Hope you never find the cure :-) Lou
I do when I’m driving it... even cringe starting it with them on... the alternator is raised letters, non existent if I needed to replace it
These were most interesting; I had a good friend in the early 70's with a red one. Always felt like sitting too low in a bathtub with the low roof and slitty windows. Fortunately, my friend's had a/c; bet it's a struggle to look cool in this thing with a black interior when it's in the 90's outside!
Hi LoveIsAll, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Friends red car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I'm in love. Looks so good!
NICE !
I guess dreams can come true!!! Neat story, and a very nice car!
Hi Steel Assault, For this Care Taker, the dream came true :-) Lou
Stunner Lou. 👏👏
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car Keith :-)
It is still my dream car, but now out of reach...beautiful.
Hope you're behind the wheel of the right one for you soon.
What a great story, love those bosstangs

This is my 71 429 scj drag pack mach 1, owned it since 83, finally finished the restoration last fall
Muy bonito ese Ford Boss Munstang 1971! La combinación de colores en celeste y blanco le asientan bastante bien, junto con esa franja plateada que recorre la capota del motor y el alerón trasero! ¡Excelente video, saludos!

@@loucostabile You are welcome also.
“Grabber Blue‼️” my mother had a new ‘71 in Grabber Blue, not a Boss but a coupe with a 302 & auto tyranny. Few years later and the floor was rotted out. They sold it for $250 ! And it only had around 50,000 miles on it. 😔

I never cared for this generation of Mustang, but it’s nice to see such a nice example.
Hi Dave, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Possibly the best performance engine of the 60s-70s.
Happy to read you enjoy this motor :-)
The cup is a great trunk and treat im happy for him he got the car he wanted not one like it but the actual car got a lot monentos in the car too cool
Hi Larry, Glad he finally got the exact car he wanted too :-) Lou
This is a sensational Mustang, it sure is the Boss. The other Mustangs got fired
High praise :-)
a great car for a great guy
:-)
Very, very nice !
:-)
Another excellent video! Thank you!
A friend of mine had one of these 1971 Boss 351 Mustangs, although his was a metallic blue and silver. I believe that these engines had solid lifters, so they were mechanically noisy. They also had governors limiting the RPM. The governors were easily disabled and allowed the full powerband of the engine to be available. About the only Mustang which could run circles around this Mustang is the previous year's Boss 429. The 1971 to 1973 final generation Mustang had probably the best body and chassis. I say final generation and best generation Mustang, as it had evolved bigtime from it's original 1964 Falcon roots. The 1974 Mustang II and later, pre-Fox Mustangs, were Pintos in disguise and a real letdown.
Hi Automated Electronics, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Friends car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Saw this mustang at a local car museum
Happy to read you're able to see this car in person :-)
Nice 😀
Hi Michael, Happy to read this one is "Nice" :-) Lou
Fantastico!
Happy to read you enjoy this car :-)
Mean Mustang.
Just the way we like it :-)
Great looking car but with all the hills in Atlanta it wouldn’t be practical!
Hi Brock, Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
💥💪💥
Nice :-)
That's a beauty. Correction, though; 1806 were made, not 1600.
Hi Jason, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Thanks for sharing, Lou
I like the 72-73 models My brother has a 73 Mach. Former drag car. Kind of an oddball with a Boss 351 engine block and a Cougar XR7 dash.
Hi Restless Classic, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Brothers car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Another rare 71 Mustang would be one with the 429CJ in it! But, from what I hear, the Boss 351 was faster and handled better then the 429's did...
Hi MitchF150, I'm on the hunt for a 71 with a 429, and I'm getting close. Saw two at Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, however I could not find the Care Taker in time for the video. Stay tuned and let's see if I can find one (or two). Lou
way real
:-)
Lou, gotta tell Fred to switch out those old fan belts and adjust the idle.
Hi John, Thanks for sharing a tip, Lou
I feel bad for these year Mustangs , they had to follow up the 69/70 fastbacks which are arguably one of the best looking muscle cars of all time...These remind me of AMC with its boxy front end and massive rear pillar. A nice car in its own right but to me, a let down when compared to its predecessor
Hi Adam, Thank you for sharing, Lou
👍
:-)
Keep that ash tray original lols that's history.
Thank you for viewing & sharing.
CHINGON
Thank you Mr. CHON :-)
Great car, but the owner is a nutter, fan belts from 1971, insane.
I'm sure my wife would put me in the "nutter" category :-)
Well since as old as I am I'm 55 years of age I grew up in Allentown Pennsylvania and I remember when these cars were nothing cars and to me there's still nothing cars so you all need to stop being buffoons
Old and grumpy. Not a good combination
@Astral Enlightenment listen here whoever you believe to be I forgot more about cars than you'll ever know about be well and live your poor pathetic life
It's a boss 351 not a MACH 1
Okay so I'm not old and grumpy I'm 55 years of age and I spent more time around all these supposed fast cars when they really were not fast cars if you want to know what a fast car is look up a 73 or 74 super duty 455 trans am, those were fast cars I've been around so many fast cars in my life the last car I just got rid of some time ago was 8 seconds big block Camaro and I still have a 9 second Hayabusa so please do not inform me what's fast and what's slow because next time you want to meet meet me here either in southern South Carolina or I'll be in Florida and I'll smoke all your asses and make no mistake of it!!!!
Hi Dean, Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou
