Seller’s Description: 1971 Ford Mustang Mach I Boss 351 Tribute
This Mustang Mach 1 is a tribute car, built to the specs of the Boss 351 issue from Ford. The VIN is 1F05H156380. This car left the Flint assembly line with a 351 Windsor mill, but that was kicked to the side of the road when this Mach I was discovered 30 years ago in disassembled condition. Over several years it was completely renewed and painstakingly rebuilt and reborn. It now has strong running gear that gives the kind of performance as the factory components: A fully rebuilt 10:1 compression 351C HO mill rated at over 300 horsepower; Hurst shifted top loader 4-speed manual transmission; TractionLok 9 inch rear end; Ram-Air hood, front air dam, and rear spoiler. With front and rear sway bars, Koni shocks, frame connectors, heavy-duty leaf springs, and aluminized tailpipes and mufflers, this Mustang looks like, and performs like, the factory-built Boss 351. The only real difference is the price.
In the current marketplace, a numbers matching Ford Mustang Boss 351 in this condition carries a price tag at between $75,000 and $100,000, (assuming that it can be verified to be real with a Marti report). On the other hand, THIS CAR has virtually identical features; it is essentially new with just 1750 miles on the odometer since restoration – and it can be driven every day, anywhere, without scrubbing off thousands of dollars in collector car value. This outstanding Mustang fastback can be purchased at HALF THE AVERAGE PRICE of the original, but you can enjoy driving it instead of kicking the tires as it ages in a collection. And, driving it is a blast! The high revving Cleveland makes beautiful music and acceleration will push you back in the seat when the go-fast pedal is mashed.
Inside, the car has flawless black vinyl and suede bucket seats, excellent door panels, dash cover, and headliner, an optional fold-down rear seat to make plenty of room for luggage on road trips, new carpeting, excellent glass, and tight-fitting doors and windows. The Grabber Yellow paint is flawless, trimmed in glossy black. There are some minor custom touches from 71 to 73 models (grille mesh, pop-open filler cap, for instance). The factory issue Magnum 500 styled steel wheels are like new. Though the tires have several years on them, the tread shows zero wear. There is not now, nor has there ever been, any rust in this car. The sheet metal, floor and trunk pans, and frame are pristine.
This Mustang is begging to break loose from the corral and run free. Don’t miss your best chance to own a spirited pony that won’t let you down. Inspections are welcome. This is a private sale by the owner whose name has been on the title for 30 years.
