Shipping arrangements are the 100% responsibility of the buyer. Those cars look good, and are meant to temp you into spending your money, but they are not greatinvestments! Here is an opportunity to do it right, for far less than $40K (if you have some basic skills), and you will earn far more admiration, and respect from the Mustang community. The Boss had a solid lifter cam with a slightly different profile, and slightly more hp.ĭon't make the mistake of spending $40,000 of your hard earned cash for a car on Ebay with a nice paint job, but is not even close to being correctly restored. If you were to drive this car blindfolded, side-by-side with a 71 Boss 351, provided both cars had the same rear gear ratio installed, you would not be able to tell the difference. This was a low option car- meant to be all muscle with very little unnecessary fluff. It's these small original details that make a great concours restored show winning Mustang! See photos for everything. This tag was mounted under the coil mounting bolt on top of the intake manifold at the factory, and originals are very, very rarely seen. One really exciting original item that very rarely survives, is the aluminum ENGINE ID TAG. The original coil, carburetor (with original, stamped carb ID tag still in place), intake, and exhaust manifolds. There is a brand new ERSON CAM in the box and new lifters, along with the original cam as well. I think the heads were machined, but are not assembled and will need a new valve set. There is a brand new set of pistons installed on the OE rods, and a new set of rod bearings. The block has been tanked, bored, and has new cam bearings and freeze plugs. The original 3.25/9 inch rear axle still has the original tag on the carrier housing. The transmission still has original paint markings on it. The complete, original, numbers matching engine and numbers matching 4-speed wide-ratio transmission with the original Hurst Competition-Plus Shifter are with the car (see photos for the stamped serial numbers on block and trans). The car also came with the mini center console. There is an extra rear seat in original Ivy Green. I have the full original Mach1 deluxe interior, AM radio, instruments (has the clock in the main cluster option), and extra instrument clusters with it too. The wheels and tires are trash, but miraculously holding air! The hood is rusted out on the underside panel. The trunk floor is very good, but may need a couple very small spots patched. The driver side front rail needs some minor straightening.Front fenders are good, but may need some minor work and the same with inner aprons, and cowl (like most of them 45+ years old) needs repair. The doors are in remarkably good shape, as are the rockers, and frame rails. (the great thing about Mustangs-lots of OE and REPRO parts available). I don't have a new tail panel or lower quarter patches, but these parts are available from many Mustang parts vendors. There is an OE piece to fix the right upper rear quarter. I have the full pan for the driver side, but if I were doing it I would just cut out the areas that really need replaced and not do the full pan. The passenger side floor pan is in, but needs completion. I've also have the ORIGINAL FACTORY INVOICE - an absolute must have for the owner of a highly collectible muscle Mustang!!. It's safe to assume that few Grabber Lime cars remain. There was a similar color for 72 and it was called “Bright Lime”. There were 1933 Grabber Lime Mustangs in 71, and Grabber Lime was only used in 71. LIKELY about the FIRST to SECOND WEEK OF PRODUCTION! (See photo of Deluxe Marti Report). The serial number of this Mach1 is 1001787, with a production date of August 12th, 1970. The Ford Mustang serial numbers from that era always began with 100001 as the first serialized car. This is a rare 1971 Grabber Lime Mach1, with a very early DEARBORN production serial number.
