Ford Mustang 302 V8 1971
General description :
Description
The 1971 Ford Mustang represents a cool transition as the original pony car stretched its legs into muscle machine territory. This V8 coupe shows this off well with a vintage presentation with some nice sporty style upgrades.
1971 was a great year for the Mustang if you're a fan of American flair. This was the first appearance of a major restyle, and it followed Detroit's maxim of longer, lower, and wider. These cars have nice styling touches like the line that follows the front fender all the way into the door, and there's a recessed back panel that gave it a sporty overhang in the rear. The Mustang was given these elongated lines to create a meaner appearance, and aggressive is exactly how this coupe was built to look. The red paint provides the perfect backdrop to all the dark accents. This includes the full-length Mach 1 triple stripe, wide chin spoiler, large rear spoiler, and sporty hood with blacked-out over the dual NACA openings. Finishing off this added speedy image are the bright dual exhaust tips and Magnum 500 wheels. But more than just a sports car, you'll also appreciate premium touches, like the newer chrome bumpers and the nice black vinyl roof.
If you like all the black accents of the exterior, then you're going to love the full black interior. You can really tell there was a more recent investment in the carpet, dash, and door panels by their level of quality. Many of the details have a clean look, and this even appears to be a factory A/C car (it will need components and servicing to return the function.) It's a well-done driver package with nice high-back bucket seats up front and an upgraded cup holder center console in-between. The wood-rimmed sports steering wheel is one of the brightest pieces of the interior (so it really draws your eye,) and beyond that are crisp factory gauges.
Ford's 302 cubic-inch V8 looks quite good under the hood with the long Cobra air topper and ribbed Mustang valve covers. This V8 inhales deeper with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and that also helps give the dual exhaust a nice tune. The total presentation is quite clean. We were told the motor was rebuilt about 1,000 miles ago, and the way this one fires up readily reaffirms the feeling of a quality investment. The three-speed automatic transmission was said to be rebuilt at the same time, and it's a smooth shifter. In fact, it's an all-around good driver with power steering, wide BF Goodrich T/As, and power brakes with discs up front.
This is the long coupe that's made for driving. So if you love a substantial pony, don't miss this Mustang. Call now!

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.
