Beautiful car. I had a '70 and '71 351 4V both 4speeds. The '70 pulled harder thru the gears. It was rated at 300hp, 380 torque. The '71 I guess was 275, as you said. Ran the '70 in the 1/4 mile and it ran 13.50 at 106. All it had was a Holly, manifold and headers. Fast for back then. Needed a cam, probably high 12's. Both were in great shape. Sold the '70 for $2K. The '71 for $2800. Things were cheap in the '70s. Thanks for the video.
Car interiors back then were held together with screws. Over time some would develop squeaks or rattles. Today car interiors are held together with space age adhesives and fancy computer designed clips, which highly reduces the rattles and squeaks. The drawback is today its more difficult to remove parts as the clips break easier or you scratch things up without using the correct tool.
As the old steering boxes wore out they got sloppy and developed play. When new the old cars steered pretty good off the showroom floor. My 65 Barraduda, and 69' Road runner and my mothers Dodge Dart steered like sh!t as they aged. My father always bought big GM luxury cars his steering did not seem to wear. My uncle had a 65 Plymouth Fury his stayed tight even with High mileage. My brother had a 65' Ford Galaxie 500, his steering felt good. What I think happens is the steering line hoses begin to leak and weep fluid and the steering fluid gets low before we fill them and it damages the steering box causing slop.
Have a 72 torn apart out in the garage, haven't had the time or money to touch it in the last 15 years, hoping that finally changes next year as I pay off the house in the next few months.
Yeah you got that right steering wheel of a GM always had that jerk all the time to keep you awake at night but Ford's always had that halfway crank on the steering yes they did steer better but you might fall asleep
Nice dumpster in the background. 360 degrees of angles and the dumpster was featured in most of them. The color matched the Stang too. Nice car though. Note how the front end was nearly identical to the following Mustang II.
I wrecked the shit out of a 1971 that looked like yours it was blue with keystone wheels Hit a culvert at 70 . Ripped out both front cross members !! 😎🤪
@@jameshuffman835 I hear you there on the retirement part, I already have the skills to restore a car. I believe most of the blue Mach 1s came with silver stripes from the factory. The report doesn't break it down as to which color of stripes came on this car. This was was also a factory blue cobra jet car.
lmfao. Factory engine, factory transmission, factory suspension, factory interior except for some white overlay gauges, factory radio and still has the 15" magnum wheels. You may want to look up restomods because this car is far from one. Changing out the steering box to a quicker ratio and adding posi in the rear doesn't make it a restomod.
Does anyone else prefer the roofline of the "Grande" coupes as opposed to the "Fastbacks" for the 71 thru 73 Mustangs? Don't get me wrong, I like the fastbacks, I actually prefer them to the notch-backs on the earlier models, but on the 71s thru 73s I just thought the notch-backs looked cooler.

Glad you enjoyed the video.
Freaking love the color!
Yea it really shows the lines off on the car.

Yea everything these days are made cheaper.
That sounds more like suspension squeaks, old interiors also had those annoying metal clips this isn't new.
@@V8_screw_electric_cars it was all new suspension.

Play the 73 Mustang Mach 1 302 Pennsylvania took care of that car
NEED ME ONE OF THEM!
I really like the white gauges
It was a nice touch.
Q-code. 4 bolt main. basically a boss block with smaller port/valve heads and less CR. this was top engine option in 73

Looks like mine except silver stripes and no AC, and my air cleaner has a shorter horn! Aluminum slot rims, and blue interior, Plus louvers!
Well, this one will be for sale if you want a true cobra jet engine for your car. The owner wrecked this one a few weeks back.
@@myclassiccarstory yes! I'm ready to retire and have the skills and talent to do a total restoration

@@myclassiccarstory what surprises me most, it's got a C-6 and not a four speed! But it was ordered with AC
@@jameshuffman835 yea this one was the same way.
Habla demasiado y casi no muestra el auto.

Kind of along the same topic , just because a car is rare doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more valuable.

I agree, I have a 73 Mustang Grande and I like it better than the fastback body style.
