For Sale: 1971 Ford Mustang in Concord, North Carolina

This 1971 Ford Mustang convertible gives you a classic car appearance in a seldom-seem package. So everything from the Marti Report to the drop-top appeal makes this V8 classic feel special.

The '71 Mustang began a new era. This is where the idea of lower and longer cars struck the first-gen pony car. While we often see examples of the fastback/Mach 1, a cruiser-style convertible like this is a far less-seen body. And that seems odd because this is the one if you love boulevard-ready style. There's a well-integrated spoiler, an elegant style crease that runs through the door line, and a long curve of the hood that ends in a sporty forward-leaning front. This is a true driver-ready car, which means an overall finish that won't make you nervous about hitting the open road. It also means they took some extra time to add some fun. It's everywhere, from the polished dual exhaust tips to the classic American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with new tires that still have the stickers on them.

As tasteful as the white roof looks against the light blue paint, it gets even better when you power the top down. That's because the dark blue interior against the light blue exterior feels like the classic American has a European level of sophistication. Just like the exterior, there is room to put your personal touch inside, but it's also quite inviting with newer upholstery, a smooth dash, and a clean/classic style. You'll even appreciate details like the pony floor mats and color-matched convertible boot. And the high-back bucket seats and upgraded wood-rimmed steering wheel give you the proper cruiser feeling.

Under the hood is a clean-looking 302 cubic-inch V8. A nice list suggests a solid investment in the motor later in life. And you can see items like the starter, fuel tank, and dual exhaust looking newer. Plus, this V8 is a great way to get a stout motor today, and it often only takes some weekend tune-ups to unleash the level of power you desire. We also like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front disc brakes that keep this classy Mustang an easy cruiser.

The sale comes complete with a copy of the Marti Report. This is the less-seen convertible that also has a terrific style. So it's amazing you can get it all right now for such an affordable price. Call now!
