1971 Ford Boss 351 Mustang 

Delivered New to Ford Motor Corp Scientific Research Lab

THE BOSS!  Very rare.  Only 1806 Boss 351 Mustangs were produced by Ford in 1971 and only 591 of those are known to exist today.  The Boss 351 Mustang was perhaps the most balanced, all-around best performing Boss Ford ever made, capable of 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 14.1 seconds at 100.6 mph.  What made it all possible was the specially developed 351 Cleveland small-block engine.  This engine developed 330 HP and 370 lbs ft of torque using very high 11.3-to-1 compression ratio forged pistons, a huge 750 cfm Autolite 4-barrel carburetor, the excellent, high-flowing Cleveland cylinder heads, forged and hardened internals and a nearly .500 lift camshaft with solid lifters.  All the best stuff from Ford and the equipment that turned a regular Mustang into the renowned and very rare Boss 351.

When you checked off the Boss 351 package block on your invoice back in 1971, you got the now famous 351 Boss engine, heavy duty, 4-speed Toploader transmission with Hurst shifter, a 3.91 geared Traction-Lok 9? rear end, dual ?Ram Air? induction hood, power front disc brakes, an upgraded ?competition? suspension, full instrumentation, HD cooling package, dual mirrors, driving lights, high-back bucket seats, sport rims, and F60 Wide-O-Oval tires. 

This rare and beautifully done 1971 Boss 351 Mustang retains its ?born with? numbers-matching Boss 351 engine, wide-ratio Toploader 4-speed manual transmission and 3.91 geared Traction-Lok rear axle.  It?s beautifully re-finished in its original ?Grabber Yellow? exterior with black vinyl, high-bucket seat interior.  The vehicle is optioned with all the items in the ?Boss 351? package you see above and power steering, AM radio, the Sport Deck rear seat, and center console (not currently in car). 

The collector-quality vehicle is documented with the Lois Eminger Report (Internal Ford invoice), the Marti Report and original sales paperwork from its first private buyer in 1972.  The vehicle?s first owner was Ford Motor Corp itself and it was delivered originally to the Ford Scientific Research Lab in Dearborn, MI.  

This Boss 351 runs and drives excellent and is very strong.  It?s a vehicle you can drive or show with confidence and due to its rarity, numbers matching drivetrain and excellent documentation, is sure to appreciate in the future.
