Vehicle Description
This 1971 Ford Mustang convertible will always have a place in
classic car history as it represents a cool transition of the
original pony car stretching its legs into muscle machine
territory. So it's great to find such a bold one that has
everything from V8 power to an A/C interior for such a nice
price.
1971 was a great year for the Mustang if you're a fan of American
flair. This was the first appearance of a major restyle, and it
followed Detroit's maxim of lower, wider, and longer. These cars
have nice design touches such as the line that follows the front
fender all the way through the door, and a recessed back panel that
gave it a sporty overhang in the rear. The Mustang was given these
elongated lines to create a meaner appearance, and aggressive is
exactly how this droptop was built to look. The factory-correct
Grabber Yellow has a bolder shine thanks to a professional
clearcoat respray later in life. It's also the perfect backdrop to
all the dark accents. This includes the Mach 1-style triple stripe,
soft top, front spoiler, rear spoiler, and NACA hood with
blacked-out paint over the dual ram air openings. Finishing off
this speedy image are proper Magnum 500 chrome wheels.
The interior is factory-correct and the exact right color for this
convertible. The black vinyl bucket seats match the accents on the
exterior, which always looks cool with the top down. The seats,
carpets, door panels, and dash all have a deep darkness, which
keeps it looking good when this Mustang is open to the world. Ford
was going for a premium feeling with the Mustang during this era,
so you get some nice wood paneling touches on the door and the
factory dual-spoke steering wheel. This has a great classic
feeling, right down to the AM/FM stereo and correct trunk mat. But
one upgrade that you don't see, but will absolutely feel, is the
modern R134a air conditioning. It really lets you enjoy this
convertible comfortably with the top down. And any time you need to
button up, it's just a touch of a button with the power folding
roof.
Under the hood this Mustang has a correct 351 cubic-inch V8. It
keeps to proper H-code appearance with the big air cleaner and Ford
blue paint on the block. Everything looks neat and clean, which
reinforces the feeling this one received the right investments
along the way. Even the dual exhaust has a sweet rumble thanks to a
newer stainless unit. This has a solid feeling out on the road, and
in fact, you'll enjoy it easily with great features like the
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc
brakes.
Great colors, the right features, and a value price - this is a
great all around classic for the first person who grabs this deal.
