LMC is 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.
As detailed in the Marti Report, this particular Boss 351 was built on May 10, 1971 in Dearborn, Michigan, and sold only 10 days later at Sam Galloway Ford at in Fort Myers, Florida. This car has never been restored during its lifetime having been well cared for since new showing only 28,940 miles on the odometer. The car war ordered in 3560-A Bright Red paint with requisite black Boss stripes which still remains the original factory applied paint. The Vermillion Ruffino/Corinthian Vinyl interior is also original and in very nice shape. The underneath still shows the factory red oxide primer, paint daubs and inspection markings. Most important of all, this Boss retains the numbers-matching 351 cubic inch engine and four speed wide ratio manual transmission actuated with a Hurst shifter. To put the power to pavement a V-code Traction-Lok rear differential and 3.91:1 gearing. Other options include F60x15 Wide Oval tires, the Sport Deck rear seat, Rear Spoiler, an AM radio with 8-track player, and a centre console. In a sea of restored cars, it is extremely rare to find an unrestored survivor in this condition!
With only a handful made in 1971, this is one Mustang that you won’t see another of at the local car show. Remembering that a car can only be original once this Boss 351 is a virtual time capsule.Don’t miss this opportunity to own a super-rare, genuine survivor Boss 351.

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.
