LAST BOSS MUSTANG MODEL YEAR Having served their respective
purposes by winning the SCCA Trans-Am championship and duking it
out neck-and-neck with Chryslers wing cars in NASCAR competition,
Ford retired the Boss 302 and Boss 429 Mustangs in 1970. Both were
succeeded in one stroke for 1971 by the Mustang Boss 351, featuring
low, wide, and aggressive new flatback body styling predicted by
the Mach 1 show car of just a few years before. The new Boss
included more of everything that made its predecessors great,
including more balanced handling with better weight distribution
and outstanding performance from its new free-breathing,
Cleveland-based solid-lifter Boss 351 engine offering greater
flexibility and all-around drivability with 330 factory-rated
horsepower on tap. Only one transmission was available Fords
virtually bulletproof Toploader 4-speed manual unit. Drivability
was markedly improved over that of the peakier,
smaller-displacement 1970 Boss 302 and Boss 351 performance was
awesome, including 0-60 mph times under 6.0 seconds and the quarter
mile dash in 14 seconds flat or better. Road Test magazine summed
the Boss 351 up best, stating The 71 Boss is 40 hp bossier than
last years 302 (and) still gives fine handling coupled to
straightaway performance. This vehicle is 1 of just 1,806 Boss 351s
produced for 1971 and 1 of only an estimated 630 known to exist
today per the Boss 351 Registry. While it left the assembly line in
Bright Blue paint, this Boss was repainted Black in 1983. A
lifelong Tennessee car with just one owner since it was purchased
new until most recently, this top-notch Boss 351 clearly benefits
from restoration to OEM condition performed during the early 2000s
by Stacys Concours Restorations and it continues to sport a Black
finish over the originally specified Black vinyl interior featuring
bucket front seats. Welcome factory options include power steering
and an AM radio. The potent Boss 351 powerplant retains matching
numbers. In addition to a spare wheel/tire, roadside jack and lug
wrench, this stellar Boss 351 also includes an Owners Manual,
Window Sticker copy, dealer brochure, a written account of the cars
history, and a Marti Report confirming original data. While the
Boss 351 is indeed very rare today, this excellent example is even
more so with single-family ownership and care from new. As offered,
this 1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351 stands as one of the finest fruits
of Ford Motor Companys all-out Total Performance campaign that
dominated virtually everywhere the company chose to compete.
