1971 Ford Mustang boss

Vehicle Description 1971 Ford Mustang $55,000 1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351Matching Numbers R-Code • 4-Speed Manual • Bright Blue Metallic • Original Take-Off Parts IncludedSome muscle cars are remembered because they were popular. Others are remembered because they were built without compromise. The 1971 Ford Boss 351 belongs firmly in the second category. Produced for just one model year, the Boss 351 represented the pinnacle of Ford’s naturally aspirated small-block performance during the golden era of American muscle. Finished in striking Bright Blue Metallic over a black interior, this matching-numbers R-Code example has been lovingly cared for throughout its life, spending 47 years with its previous owner before joining its current caretaker three years ago.With only 1,806 Boss 351s produced for 1971, finding a matching-numbers example that remains rust-free while including its original take-off components is becoming increasingly uncommon.Showing just 51,526 miles, this rust-free Boss has received a carefully planned performance refresh approximately 600 miles ago while preserving the character that made these cars legendary. Even better, the original components removed during the upgrade—including the intake manifold, Autolite carburetor, exhaust manifolds, distributor, and factory radio—are included with the sale, giving the next owner the flexibility to maintain the car as enjoyed today or return it closer to factory specifications. From its unmistakable Ram Air hood to its aggressive stance and unmistakable Boss styling, this is a Mustang that commands attention wherever it goes.Why This Boss 351 MattersOne-year-only Boss 351 production (1971)Matching-numbers R-Code 351 Cleveland V8Factory 4-speed manual transmissionRust-free exampleLong-term ownership history (47 years with the previous owner) lPerformance upgrades completed just 600 miles agoOriginal take-off parts included with the saleFive-volume factory service manual set included Engine & PerformanceMatching-numbers 351 Cleveland R-Code V8Four-speed manual transmission f ffApproximately 600 miles since performance rebuildEngine bored .030 overPerformance Bullet camshaft closely matching factory specifications lHolley aluminum intake manifoldHolley carburetorMSD electronic ignitionHeadersComplete new exhaust system from headers to exhaust tipsRuns and drives exceptionally wellExteriorBright Blue Metallic exteriorCorrect Boss 351 graphics and stripingFunctional Ram Air hoodRear deck spoilerRust-free bodyChrome and exterior trim present wellFactory Boss styling throughoutInteriorBlack bucket seat interiorFactory center consoleFactory three-spoke steering wheelManual windowsNon-tilt steering columnNew shoulder harnesses professionally restored by Snake Oyl ProductsTwo new replacement interior door panels included (without upper moldings)Chassis & WheelsFactory manual steeringFront disc brakesBFGoodrich Radial T/A raised white letter tiresAdditional set of four Goodyear Polyglas tires includedAdditional InformationMatching-numbers Boss 351 R-CodeOriginal owner retained the vehicle for approximately 47 yearsCurrent owner has enjoyed the car for the past three yearsShows 51,526 milesOriginal intake manifold includedOriginal Autolite carburetor includedOriginal exhaust manifolds includedOriginal distributor includedOriginal factory radio included (currently inoperative)Five-volume factory service manual set includedClean Tennessee titleKnown ImperfectionsFactory tachometer is currently inoperative, reportedly due to the MSD ignition conversion.Original factory radio is included but will require repair if the next owner wishes to reinstall it.
