The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option package of the Ford Mustang, originally introduced by Ford in August 1968 as a package for the 1969 model year. The Mach 1 title adorned performance oriented Mustang offerings until the original retirement of the moniker in 1978.

By 1971, Mustang production peaked at 149,678 units, and the division was known as the Ford Marketing Corporation. The Boss Mustang 351 was now the most serious package on offer. But for buyers who wanted something slightly less hairy, but still with a sporty flavor, the Mustang Mach 1 remained the street-friendly alternative for this model year. The car came complete with a full sports appearance package and was available with a range of power plant options. These varied from the relatively mild 210 horsepower 302-cid V8 all the way through to the Cobra Jet 429, or even the completely wild 375 horsepower 429-cid Super Cobra Jet fitted with Ram Air Induction. 1971 would be the final year that this gulping 429 Big Block Ford Powerhouse was an offer.

'True, rare, and a one of a kind barn find' is the best way to describe this car.It possesses some of the most sought after options in a Mustang.From performance to luxury, this car is equipped with almost everything you could've possibly purchased back in 1971.Only owned by two families throughout its existence,it was originally purchased from the Beverly Hills Ford Dealer and lived in California for most of its life.

It wasn't until 1997 where a family from New Jersey had purchased the car from Duffy's Classic Cars and has been kept inside their barn since then. They had unfortunately lost a family member and had called us about purchasing the car from their estate. We pulled it out of the barn in just about the same condition you see in the photos and had only done minor correction and repair to get the car to start, run, steer, and stop. Our goal was to not strip the car of any of its originality.

Continuing more into the details of this fine piece of automotive history, this '71 Mustang Cobra Jet is as true and authentic as one can be! It was just fully documented and verified by a Deluxe Marti Report. For those of you who are not aware, a 'Marti Report' is a Ford Licensed Production Report produced by Kevin Marti who owns the exclusive rights to the Ford Production Records from 1967 to 2014. It allows any individual to verify all of the information the car is equipped with. From its drivetrain, to its paint, interior, and any other features, you will be able to tell very easily if something is not quite right or original to the car.

It was professionally framed with the Window Sticker, Reproduction Data Plate, the Deluxe Marti Report, as well as personalized statistics to show you that this car is1 OF 1!In lots of cases, GM cars like Camaro's usually have upgraded/aftermarket engines in them such as a 454 or 383 Stroker but can at times be very difficult to truly verify what the original equipment on the car had been.Such is commonly the case with a Z/28 Camaro!

In addition, you will also find that the car includes a reproduced original Vehicle Invoice, Window Sticker, as well as the Door Tag from Marti Auto Works. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own something of this nature with this kind of documentation. You'd be silly to stop reading here! This car is just overflowing with how many options it is equipped with which can be read about navigating to the Under the Hood, Exterior, and Interior Sections!

This is not your average, 'run in the mill' so to speak, 1971 Mustang badged as a Mach 1 with a big block.From its Mach 1 SportsRoof Trim Package painted Raven Black, to the 429-4V Ram Air V8 Engine, to the Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, and Bucket Seats,you can be absolutely sure this car will outshine most other '71 Mustangs ever produced.

This car is only 1 of 167 cars ever produced with this Paint Color and Mach 1 Trim Package.Because of the fact that it is also factory equipped with the Cobra Jet Ram Air Package, it only adds the icing to the cake!Again, don't miss out, people. We are almost sure we will never come across something this original, super rare, and highly optioned again!
