Did you know Ford was exporting Mustangs in the 1960s and 1970s? This is a rare 1971 Mach 1 Mustang with 26 options and the big 429 Cobra Jet under the hood.

8 tracks. That brings back memories. The only one I can remember is Heart. I think i played that till it wouldn't play anymore. 429.. Early 80's I bought an F-150 stepside with 300 6cyl, automatic (C6 if I recall). Bought it with the explicit plan to install a built 429. Bought the 429 out of a car that has the same front end as your wagon. Spared no expense on the motor. Forged pistons, Isky cam, balanced, big carb on top of an aluminum manifold, Mallory ignition. Built the C6. That was one fun truck. Loved the sound, sounded just like a NASCAR motor, definitely get the juices flowing when it rev'd and it loved to rev. Embarrassed a lot of hot cars with that truck.

If I could get my dream car it wouldn't be no Tesla or Ferrari, it would be a red 71 Mach 1 with a 351C. In my opinion the big 71-73 Mustangs are the most beautiful cars ever produced.

Might as well choose the 71 Boss 351, the Baddest Cleveland from the factory. It was a Big Block Eater !

@badass6.0powerstroke10 Жыл бұрын

I Love the 71-73,s too, especially 71 and 72 Model Years, 71 was definitely the performers out of the bunch, the Boss 351 and 429 SCJ,s were 1971 Only.

@save16thave Жыл бұрын

@@badass6.0powerstroke10 Agreed, the Boss 351C is the king of small blocks. The 71 would definitely be the best but beggars can't be choosers so I would definitely take a 72 or 73 if I could afford it. The 71-73 Mustangs used to be affordable compared to the earlier Mustangs but now they are all out of my price range. You are definitely right about the 71 being the best.

US servicemen transferred to Australia could bring their cars with them at the government’s expense but if they wanted to take them home they had to pay for the costs themselves so most cars stayed here. I’ve got a ‘72 Ford Galaxie that came to OZ that way, it has a sticker on the front bumper from Bollings AFB.

In April 1971, I bought a 71 Mach 1, Grabber Green from Palmetto Ford in Charleston while I was stationed on the USS Hunley AS31 submarine tender. By June I was in New London parking it for 6 months after transferring to the USS George C Marshall SSBN 654. Great car never let me down.

I have a 70 M code delivered to the UK in 70 and optioned for UK roads. The Marti report indicates it was delivered without cost and I believe as a gift to a UK race driver who was successful for Ford in the late 60s in the states. I’m still researching the original owner. The car is listed as plain m code with Ford directional headlights option for rhd roads and uprated suspension.

My 1972 sportsroof has rear widows that lower and they are not electric. That's because I fitted 71-73 coupe rear winding mechanisms and window sliding plates into the sportsroof, they fit right in. Only modification required was to drill holes in the rear interior plastic panels for the crank handles.
