This sharp 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback features a
matching-numbers drivetrain with the legendary R-code 429 Super
Cobra Jet V-8 as its centerpiece. Equipped with the Drag Pack, this
Mach 1 is the product of a fresh rotisserie restoration that was
completed in September 2017. Believed to have traveled a mere
42,000 miles since new, this powerful machine is designed to move
with purpose, as it sports the R-Code 429 Super Cobra Jet engine
with forged pistons and hardened valve seats, a rebuilt smog
system, 4-speed manual transmission and a 3.91 Traction-Lok rear
axle. Finished how it left the factory in sinister black and silver
with a bright red interior, this Mach 1 rolls on 15-inch Magnum 500
wheels shod with Firestone tires and boasts amenities such as power
disc brakes and power steering. Notably new from Dearborn for 1971
was a longer, wider, heavier Mustang that ushered in a new
generation that proved to be one of the most muscular non-Boss
Mustangs yet, as those parameters expanded primarily to allow the
installation of the big-block 429 Cobra Jet engine. Two varieties
were listed: The C-code CJ and its J-code CJ-R running mate, the
"R" predictably standing for Ram Air. Advertised output remained
the same regardless of the addition of the CJ-R's functional,
dual-scooped hood. On the other hand, adding the optional Drag Pack
transformed a Cobra Jet into a Super Cobra Jet by trading the
former's 715 CFM Quadra-Jet 4-barrel and hydraulic cam for a 780
CFM Holley and high-lift solid cam. Super Cobra Jet enhancements
also included forged-aluminum pistons and cap-screw connecting
rods. This car features the signature Mach 1 look with a
color-keyed front bumper, black honeycomb grille with sport lamps,
and dual racing mirrors, and it's a one-of-one build as equipped
per its Elite Marti Report. Call or email
