1971 Ford Mustang BOSS 351

1971 Ford Mustang BOSS 351

In 1971 Ford replaced both the BOSS 302 and BOSS 429 with the single BOSS 351. It had a completely new and larger body, but was still a competition-grade since it was developed as a possible Trans-Am contender.

1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351 Fastback 351/330 HP, 4-Speed – sold for $45,000. Ford built just 1,806 Boss 351 Mustangs for 1971, and few remain today to match the originality of this “barn find” Boss, one of fewer than 600 presently listed in the Boss 351 Registry

Unrestored but for a complete rebuild of its R-code Ram Air 351/330 HP Cleveland engine and Hurst-shifted Top Loader 4-speed, it retains the original drive train, body panels, paint, interior, trim and glass, highlighted by exceptional Wimbledon White paint and Black Sports interior. Equipped with a 3.91 Traction-Loc rear end, Competition Suspension, power steering and power brakes, this rare Boss is also well documented with 3 build sheets, Marti Report, the original Eminger invoice, owner history, and photos and receipts for all work done. Auction Source: 2011 Monterey Daytime Auction by Mecum
