1971 FORD MUSTANG MACH 1 FASTBACK
This dazing 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 headlines the unique-for-1971 429/370 HP Cobra Jet V-8 motor. Depicted by certain as “a great Boss 302”, the 429CJ was a difference of the same piece on which the Boss 429 motor was based. Utilizing heads comparable within configuration to that of the 351 Cleveland, the 429CJ utilized 4-jolt mains, manufactured poles and cylinders, 11.3:1 pressure, a water driven cam comparable in detail to the Boss 429, truly huge ports and valves (2.25-crawl admission and 1.72-creep fumes) and a great-limit 4-barrel carburetor.
At $372.00, the 429CJ bundle demonstrated excessively expensive for most purchasers, so the choice was dropped halfway through the year, making these autos particularly uncommon today. This 429CJ-furnished case is finalized in ultra-uncommon Grabber Green Metallic paint with Black Mach 1 design and rides on chromed Magnum 500 wheels wearing revise Firestone Wide Oval tires.
The Cobra Jet's exhibition is improved with included Ram Air impelling, power guiding and front disc brakes, ample calling C6 programmed and a 3.25 Traction-Lok back close. The magnificent Black inside is delightfully furnished with aerating and cooling, AM radio, tach and outing odometer and tinted glass. Documentation on this Arizona Mach 1 incorporates a Deluxe Marti report.
