429 Cobra Jet powered 1971 Ford Mustang convertible for
consideration. This car comes from a local collection and has a
number of tasteful modifications. This is a great looking car with
great curb appeal, great sound, and one of the last years of true
classic American muscle. The car was restored in 2012 in Texas, and
was a low mileage car at the time of restoration. The driver's side
quarter panel was replaced during the restoration process, and door
handles were shaved to give the sides of the car a cleaner look.
After the changes to the body, the car was painted gloss black. The
finish on the paint is very nice, and we all know how hard that can
be to achieve on a gloss black car. The exterior is clean with body
panels lining up nicely, and chrome and trim in great condition.
The interior is tidy and features black seats with silver inserts,
wood veneer trim, power windows, power steering, auxiliary gauges,
and a vintage look upgraded stereo. Although the car originally
rolled off the production line with a 302 V8 under the hood, it now
has a 429 Cobra Jet V8 with a few upgrades mated to a C6 automatic
transmission. A Ford 9 rear end with a 3.73 posi traction
differential is situated between the rear wheels. A 429 Cobra Jet
engine has a certain ring to it, but add to the fact that it has a
number of modifications, it sounds even better. Speaking of sound,
the car has Magnaflow mufflers, so hearing the 429's lumpy idle
thanks to the cam could be music to your ears. The engine has a
Holley 750 carburetor, Weiand hi-rise intake manifold, roller
rockers, camshaft, MSD Ignition, and distributor, and of course CJ
heads. If you have a car with a big powerful engine, you need to be
able to stop said car, so Wilwood 6 piston calipers have been
installed up front to help with that process. Foose wheels wrapped
in Michelin Pilot tires are staggered sizes - 18 front and 20 rear.
This clean, sleek Mustang convertible is ready for a new home. Make
room for this 429 Cobra Jet powered classic in your garage. Be sure
