LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351
For the 1971 model year, Ford introduced a drastically redesigned Mustang. To this day the design is scrutinized, but sales were still strong compared to the competitors. For that year and that year only, one model stood out and would be looked at as being one of the best balanced performance Mustangs ever built and the last of the series of impressive BOSS cars. Only 1,805 BOSS 351 Mustangs were built featuring a special version of the 351 Cleveland engine and 4 speed transmission. With 0-60 times being competitive with the previous generation 428CJ and the balanced handling of a BOSS 302, they were fantastic all around cars.
Built on December 10th, 1970 at the Ford Dearborn assembly plant, this BOSS 351 Mustang was delivered new to Friendly Ford in Fresno, California. It is still powered by the numbers matching BOSS 351 engine rated at 330hp backed by a 4 speed Top Loader wide ratio 4 speed transmission and “V” Code 3.91 gear Traction-Lok rear end. The long list of options begins with power steering, rim blow steering wheels, sport deck rear seat, am radio, console, décor group, tinted glass and Magnum 500 wheels. Being a factory BOSS, it also came equipped with the full set of instrumentation including factory tach.
Today the car continues to show well, having been tastefully restored, the Grabber Yellow shows well with all appropriate black striping and hood treatment on the functional NASA Ram Air. This rare Mustang also comes fully documented with Deluxe Marti Report that outlines how it left the factory. The BOSS 351’s were the last of the breed and in the eyes of many, also the best most well balance car of them all. This particular example offers a great opportunity to acquire a real BOSS Mustang with a numbers matching engine and one which can be both driven and enjoyed.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
