1971 Ford - Mustang

Product Details

This muscle car retains its original numbers matching M-Code 351ci 285hp V8 and its original C6 automatic transmission and it is in immaculate concourse condition. It was sold new at Holiday Ford in Sunnyvale, California in May of 1971 and held onto by the original owner for the next 38 years until the 2nd owner purchased it in 2009 and then was acquired by the 3rd and current owner in 2011. The 2nd owner had a 1 ½ year restoration done at Jerry's Classic Mustangs in Alabama and PSI Motorsports in Sterling Heights, MI has maintained the car mechanically and cosmetically since 2011.

As revealed by the Door Tag and the Deluxe Marti Report, this Mach 1 was originally bright blue metallic with a dark blue interior but it is now finished in grabber blue with a white interior. The interior is said to be composed of much of its original material but it has been dyed white and it is believable as the original dark blue is starting to show through in a very minute place on the driver's seat. It features power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, and heat. Documentation is everything when buying collector and vintage vehicles and this Mach 1 is no exception. It retains documentation stemming back to when it was delivered new in 1971 comprised of: The original (not a copy) window stick showing an MSRP of $4,255, a maintenance log from the original owner from 1971-2008, the original salesman's business card, the original owner's card, the original books and manuals, a Deluxe Marti Report showing it technically being a 1 of 1 car, and a number of maintenance receipts from over the years. Being a true 63R Mach 1 Fastback car, with its original numbers matching M-Code 351ci V8, original C6 automatic transmission, and with the countless pages of documentation, in this pristine of condition offers up a superb investment opportunity.
