1971 Ford Mustang Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
One of the more popular trims for the 1971 Ford Mustang was the Boss 351, and the "Boss" moniker is very appropriate to the position that the pony car held around its fellow muscle cars. However, in 1971, the Mustang made hardly a splash among enthusiasts, with only 1806 of the Boss Mustangs were produced, a small percentage of the 149,678 released that year.
The 1971 Mustang was part of Ford's attempt to save its failing line of cars. The standard engine was a 250-ci inline 6, but options ranged up to a 429-ci V8 with 375 horsepower. The Mustang was the biggest and longest ever produced, so it was imperative that the engine be able to move the big car along at speeds to which its enthusiasts had become accustomed.
On the outside, the car looked nearly identical to the 1970 model, but the interior was all-new. Power windows now came standard, and different colors were available for the seats. Its was different from all others.

It's been a family car for 40 years and the top has been down about 80% of that time. It's always been very reliable, easy to maintain and a pleasure to drive. It has plenty of get-up-and-go, and can stop on a dime. Not much more I can add to that.Jul 23, 2011

The accleration of this car is amazing compare with another muscle car in that era. 0-60 mph under 6 second, is one big achievement for car that weight between 2500-3500 lbs. 428 cu in engine just make the driver to scream out.Jun 24, 2009

I Love it. This is one of the best cars I've even owned. It turns a lot of heads. I love the styling. The Engine is strong and loud! They really don't make cars today like they used to. Gas milage is around 15 miles per gallon. Iguess it's about the same gas milage as any high performance car built today.Jul 17, 2008

looking at 71 Convertible Mustang, what are they worth these days?
I found one for 17000 , like it , just a few things wrong. couple chew marks in door panels, no pocket for roof, small hole in roof, bondo i found underneath trunk but on left side , panel that goes behind wheel . the right side is fine. passenger door sags,not sure why could be hinges? was painted, nice but see the over spray on rubber door trim and below windshield on wiper stuff. what else should i look for?
