Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale is excited to present this rare 1971 Ford Mustang MACH-1 429 Cobra Jet. Happy 50th Anniversary you beautiful machine!
Not only is this one of the nicest 71-73 Mustangs we have seen, but it is also a factory 429 4V Cobra Jet version. Ford had the foresight to designate MACH-1 and the engine type in the VIN, and we have the Marti Report showing it was built February 17, 1971. It is 1 of only 160 made with these paint & trim codes, and 1 one of 177 built with this engine and transmission. It was built with the convenience group, power steering, rim-blow deluxe steering wheel, sport deck rear seat, power front disc brakes, air conditioning, AM radio, tinted glass, in dash tachometer, and Firestone Wide-Ovals. It remains in its original colors of White on Blue Clarion vinyl interior.
1971 was the beginning of the end for high compression muscle cars. Ford's 429 Cobra Jet (non-ram-air) had some pretty impressive numbers with 11.3-1 compression, 370 horsepower, 450 ft. lbs of torque, a high-rise intake, and header style exhaust manifolds. Bottom line is there is plenty of power on tap to propel this far-out fastback down the road. And the nice thing is, it was clearly well cared for inside and out, and still looks factory under hood. Truly and investment grade automobile likely to appreciate significantly in years to come just as it has over the last 50 years.
The blue interior looks great and features the fold down rear seat. The dash and upholstery look good as well, showing little to no wear. Definitely a nice honest car, far better than we typically see! Drivers enjoy the long sleek hood from an interior that feels like a cockpit.

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.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
