People hate on the 71-73 Mustangs so much... I love them, when I was a kid my dad had a '71 convertible with a 351 Cleveland and that thing was a joy to ride in. I'd love to get a 71-73 with a big block and restore it.
F*ck the haters. Best looking Mustangs ever made. I don't need a rinky dink '65 or '68 eleanor clone. The 71s were bold, and to this day have their own charisma.
There is 9% greater displacement in a 429 than in my 383 Cleveland so the term "big block" vs "small block" means little. The cylinder head flow and design of the Cleveland is right there with big block Chevy. They flow great and will move with more snap than most 429 or 460's.
@@jamesmedina2062there are 408 Cleveland stroker kits to. But the 385 series big block is just cool. Stock 375hp crank rated. With some upgrades to the engine it will be fast
I worked at a ford dealership in 74. There were a few Cobra jet cars that came in for service. There was a 71 429 scj that was hit hard in the front it sat in the body shop for over a year. Then got repaired it was a total. The owner paid to fix it, because some problems with the insurance company.
Beautiful Mach 1, always loved these 71,s especially the Boss 351, Baddest Small Block to come outta Detroit ! These 429 SCJ,s are Pretty Nasty Engines also, I've always liked the 71-73 Mustangs, preferably the 71 and 72 Mach 1,s. This is a very nice Drag Pack Car, Love the Top Loader too.
I had a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 GT with a 390 and the shaker hood scope in the early 1970s and I was 16 years old My father bought it for me at Harry May Chevrolet in Monroe Michigan used. I miss that car.
A boyfriend of my cousin. Back in the day. His father owned the local ford dealership where her Dad worked also. Had this exact car, color, and options other than his had window louvers on the rear. My first ride in a real 2nd gen performance mustang. Was from Clendenin, WVa
1975 I was 19. I bought a pewter 71 Mach1 with that basic red int, 351 4V Cleveland with 4 speed and AC. It had 19000 miles with its original Firestone white letter tires and cost me $1900. Exhaust tips were rusty. I drove it year round in the winter. It had a ruff ride.
Had the opportunity to own an exact car to this....429CJ though and black mach 1 deluxe interior. This was in the early 1990's. Here in Canada. One owner car with 72,000 orig miles. $12,000 Canadian! What a steal it would have been!!! Was for sale at The Shelby Shop. Now known as Legendary Motors. Identical to this gorgeous car.
Ever since I saw that '71 Mach 1 with its gleaming red paintjob in Diamonds Are Forever, I always thought that the 71-73 Mustangs were the coolest of the originals.
Ford President and ex-GM guy Bunkie Knudsen approved this 1971 Mustang design, according to historians. Word has it that Lee Iacocca had a fit! Knudsen was gone before 1970.
As a 70’s kid I really like the knudsen nose that all the cars got. Can’t help but think that when bunkie came to for he brought renderings and ideas to ford that he all ready had been working on while at GM. The 429/460 canted heads are very similar to the 396/454, The Cleveland blocks look similar to the olds/ Pontiac engines from prior years.
@@matthewnosal6893 As for the engines, it takes several years of development and testing before they go into production. Henry II hired Bunkie from GM in early 1968. The 429 Thunder Jet was already being offered in the 68 T Bird, and the new 460 would be in the 68 Lincoln Continental and early 69 Continental Mark III after New Year. There may have already been ex-GM engineers in Ford Engine & Foundry when Bunkie came aboard. Come to think of it, Larry Shinoda says when Bunkie brought him over from GM, he test drove a mid-engine exotic concept called Mach II which was powered by a Cleveland prototype. So, the 429/460 big blocks were already out, and the 351/400 Clevelands were getting close to production. Bunkie did have time to influence the 1970 design updates (Pontiac-style grilles on T Birds and LTD's), and the 71 Mustang redesign.
I had a '71 Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland, C-6 auto. That thing wasn't the fastest off the line, but when that thing hit second it would suck you back into your seat. I surprised many a corvette that's for sure.
my dads friend bought a 1 owner survivor original everything and I mean it 351-4v auto for around 20k a few years ago from the original owners son when he passed. But within the past year he sold it to a guy who put up one of those papers on a diners bulletin board saying "we buy classic cars for top dollar " or something and he sold it for just .... 26k
Just a couple streets down a neighbor has one of these under a tarp. It clearly needs fixing, but i wish i had enough money to make an offer and fix it up
HOW AWESOME IS THIS RARE BREED NOT MANY MADE I BELIEVE AROUND 12.hundred WORTH BIG DERINEROS 💰 CASH IS KING MONEY TALKS BULLSHIT WALKS O YA MAN BEAUTIFUL STALLION

People love the Foxbodies, but these 71-73 Mustangs are way better than those.
Gm got to much influence on the 71-73 imo. Its like a love and hate relationship 😂 i do love em to. Big block prefered

An amazing Mach 1!
I had a '71 Grande, white, standard 302, from Cali. Paid $2K back in 1982. Wish I still had it.

Damn that's nice. I love the pewter paint with the blue interior. That's style
Great shape for 93 thousand miles.
Rare car. It deserves a full restoration.
Still in fairly good shape as it is, especially for a nearly 53 year old car. It's only original once. I'd leave it be for now.
Naw, don't touch it. I'd rather see this an MCA unrestored class, rather than a trailor trophy. It's only factory once.
@@zoso1980Again, you're spot on
The car is totally unfxcked with. Well worth the money - whatever that is!
Thank you!
My Favorite Stang
Yup, me also.
Good looking Mach 1
Thanks

Lee iaccoca brought the shit mustsngs and shit k car all with the charm of a urinal.
Lee iaccca brought us the old geezer garbage looking " k car".Lee don't know shit.
I can't believe that this car exists, all orginal. Great car
Increíble estado de conservación.
Hermoso carro

Sweet. !
Id rip it apart and restore it..... Better paint systems these days and you can align stripes better than the factory did
Whoever originally ordered this car didn't want fancy options. Just wanted to get up and go
She's a Beauty...
Man, a kid in my high school had a dark green 429 Mach1 and wrecked it in about 1982. It was nice too. Don't know if it was a 4 speed or not.
Incredible car. One small point, check your driver side brake light. Got a dead bulb (or poor contact).
Amazing factory condition with mostly all original parts. Was it stored in a vaccum after being driven for a few years!?

Go get it bought!!
No engine oil cooler ???
this engine wasn’t quite equivalent to the 1970 Boss Nine, was it?
This car belongs with Jerry‘s friend that did the boss 302, 71 who ended up grabbing it?
Is it for sale?
I thought the '71's had chrome front bumpers, and the '72 and 73's had the covered front bumpers.
So what did it sell for ?
Did this sell yet?
Does it have 3.91,s or the 4.30,s ?
Neither, it's a "Y" code 4.11
For sale? Asking price
Sold a while ago. Thanks
Shame its got a right rear qtr replacement tacked over the original.
How can you tell?

I had a lime green 72 mach1 in high school 84-88 it was 351 SCJ Auto in floor with dark green interior would love 2 find it and buy it back
