Stock #198HOU
Here in the Houston Showroom we have this red hot 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1!
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. In 1971 the Mach 1 started with a base engine of the 302ci based Windsor motor, with a 2 barrel carburetor, followed by four optional 351 Cleveland engines - the 2-V, 4-V. The ’71 Mach 1 came standard with simulated NACA hood scoops, sporty graphics, blackout treatment, and corporate caps with trim rings. Magnum 500 wheels and Firestone Wide Ovals were optional. Inside, the ’71 Mach 1 was roomy and comfortable. It had a dashboard longer than Park Avenue, high-back bucket seats, a console, and a quieter ride than its predecessors. The most common Mach 1 power plants from 1971 were the 351C-2V and 4V engines. These engines delivered abundant torque from traffic light to traffic light. Performance for 1971 in the Mach 1 became a standard 302-2V V-8 backed by a three-speed stick. The standard Knitted Vinyl Sports Interior of 1970 gave way to the Mustang's standard interior in 1971. If you wanted the Sports Interior, you had to pay more to get it. The standard Mach 1 package for 1971 was little more than a paint-and-tape package designed to visually excite, but it didn't have much substance. The most common Mach 1 power plant for 1971 was the 351C-4V engine yielding 285 horsepower. With the 351C-4V engine, the Mach 1 was a throaty high-performance Mustang, a well-balanced machine that has earned the respect of enthusiasts. As in 1970, the '71 Mach 1 was available with a wealth of options--full instrumentation, a console, a competition suspension, a rear deck spoiler, power front disc brakes, SelectAire air conditioning, a Rim-Blow steering wheel, Magnum 500 wheels, intermittent wipers, tinted glass, and more. Axle options ranged from 2.75:1 to 4.11:1. - See more at: http://gatewayclassiccars.com/houston/1971/ford/mustang-S198.html#sthash.d1OWtBnl.dpuf SOLD
