1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1
1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof Coupe! This Mach 1 is equipped with the J-Code 429 Super Cobra Jet with functional Ram Air and NASA style hood. There were a total of 1,865 429 equipped Mustangs for 1971. Of those, 1,252 were Cobra Jets and 613 were Super Cobra Jets making this example 1 of 613 equipped with the J-Code 429 Super Cobra Jet with Ram Air. It is matted to a C6 automatic with a 9” rear-end with 3.25 gear.
It is finished in vibrant Code-D Grabber Yellow with matte black hood stripe and a Code 5A Black vinyl interior with sport bucket seats. This is a 3-owner car that was purchased new in Nashville, Tennessee. After spending a number of years in Tennessee (at least until 1984) it changed hands and went south to Florida until coming to Michigan to be with its third caretaker roughly 4 years ago. It underwent a complete rotisserie restoration in 2001 and still shows as fresh as the day it was completed.
The ’71-’73 body style is regarded as one of the best muscle car designs with its very long fastback roofline. Couple that with the rarity of the 429 Super Cobra Jet and you have a recipe for one bad ride. The sale includes the original owner’s manual, original warranty card, and original documentation from the first owner in Tennessee. This is truly and investment piece that you can enjoy as it continues to appreciate in value.
