For Sale: 1971 Ford Mustang in North East, Pennsylvania

1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 For SaleThis 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is finished in red with a black hood stripe over a black interior, showing 56,017 said-to-be original miles. The 1971 model year marked the first of the restyled, larger 197173 Mustang body, and the Mach 1 sat at the top of the performance trim ladder this example carries that factory pedigree along with a few mild bolt-on upgrades on the engine side.Power comes from a 351 Cleveland V8 topped with an Edelbrock intake manifold and a Holley carburetor a familiar combination among Cleveland enthusiasts and a sensible step up from the factory induction setup. Behind the engine is the period-correct FMX three-speed automatic transmission, and out back the 3.00 gearing makes for a comfortable highway cruiser rather than a strip-oriented setup.Braking has been recently measured, with front disc pads at 10/32" and rear drum shoes at 6/32" both leaving plenty of friction material in service. Inside, the all-black cabin includes power windows, a notable factory option for a 1971 Mustang, along with a center pod gauge cluster supplementing the main instrument panel.The 197173 Mustangs occupy a distinct chapter in the model's history: a larger, broader body style that closed out the original Mustang era before the downsized Mustang II arrived for 1974. A Mach 1 with the 351 Cleveland, FMX automatic, comfortable highway gearing, and reported original mileage in the mid-50s represents a usable, drivable example of that final big-body generation.NFI Empire specializes in classic, exotic, modified, and luxury vehicles.
