1971 Ford Mustang Boss 351
Matching Numbers R-Code • 4-Speed Manual • Bright Blue Metallic • Original Take-Off Parts Included
Some muscle cars are remembered because they were popular. Others are remembered because they were built without compromise. The 1971 Ford Boss 351 belongs firmly in the second category. Produced for just one model year, the Boss 351 represented the pinnacle of Ford’s naturally aspirated small-block performance during the golden era of American muscle. Finished in striking Bright Blue Metallic over a black interior, this matching-numbers R-Code example has been lovingly cared for throughout its life, spending 47 years with its previous owner before joining its current caretaker three years ago.
With only 1,806 Boss 351s produced for 1971, finding a matching-numbers example that remains rust-free while including its original take-off components is becoming increasingly uncommon.
Showing just 51,526 miles, this rust-free Boss has received a carefully planned performance refresh approximately 600 miles ago while preserving the character that made these cars legendary. Even better, the original components removed during the upgrade—including the intake manifold, Autolite carburetor, exhaust manifolds, distributor, and factory radio—are included with the sale, giving the next owner the flexibility to maintain the car as enjoyed today or return it closer to factory specifications. From its unmistakable Ram Air hood to its aggressive stance and unmistakable Boss styling, this is a Mustang that commands attention wherever it goes.
