Hi David, Happy to read this one is "Nice" :-) Lou
Another Nice One Lou, Thanks again
Hi Kevin, Happy to read you found this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
71-73 are my favorite...here i said it ! ...and yeah lou the BOSS 351 is a one year deal only, extremly rare and valuable....im so envious of this guy! haha
Hi Ragimund VonWallat, Now doesn't that feel better :-) Glad you enjoy this one, Lou
Awesome! Why can't they build beautiful cars like this again! I had chance to buy one like this for 7000 back in 1991"". My biggest regret in my car careers. This is a beautiful machine, The narrow rear window takes some getting used too but otherwise one of the most underrated muscle cars ever
They COULD build cars like this, but who has the $100,000.00 they'd cost?

I love it. His shirt matches the interior fabric.
I did not notice that, great pickup.
My very favourite Mustang. A neighbor in Antigonish Nova Scotia had one of these when I was a kid. Lots of Firebirds and Mustangs around St. Francis Xavier University in the early 1970's. Great times and unforgettable cars!
Hi Mary Rafuse, Glad to read this is a favorite of yours :-) Thank you for sharing your story and the wonderful memories you had. Hope you see many more cars on this UA-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Should have color keyed that front bumper . They look so much better without that chrome bumper .

Best year of the Mustang HANDS down.
Hi Stephanie Sandlin, High praise for the 1971 Mustang from you :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile Why thank you. I am a former Mustang Club of America judge for 71-73 and owned 1F05M135530 about 15 years ago. That car as almost all original, right down to the 14x7 trim rings and caps. I passed on polyglas tires though as I liked to DRIVE the car. Also own 2F01F149247 a factory pink '72 coupe that's awaiting restoration. The 71 bodystyle is in a league of it's own in the Mustang canon. Take the side stripes, spoilers off a 71 mach 1, you have one clean car. Never understood all these restorers putting all the doodads on them. However, I get why BOSS 351 owners go Mag 500's almost always. The 15x7 factory wheel with rings and caps are devilshly expensive *if* you can find them. (I have a set squirreled away I bought almost 20 years ago with 2 sets of rings - one being NOS) EDIT: Actually the BOSS 351 had 3 wheel configurations. The stock 15x7 steel wheel with trim ring/center cap, 15x7 steel wheel with Deluxe wheel cover and finally, what you see on this lime green example: Mag 500s. Cheers.
Overall , the best of the last !
Thank you for sharing.
@@loucostabile you have to admit, it looks as modern as tomorrow.
:-)
very beautiful car .Thank you very much for showing all. When I will come to the US I am planning to visit your location . Thanks
Hi Hisham, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Hi Lou! Awesome car, nice color. Nice body style for that car. Pretty rare!!
Hi Joseph, Happy to read you enjoy the rarity of this car :-) Lou
The best performance BOSS of the three.
Hi 331Grabber, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

Yip....wouldn't say no to this one, a real gem! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻😎
Glad to read this one is a "real gem" :-) Nice.
Ford Australia brought out a very similar colour option on the BA Falcon XR6 Turbo. I never knew prior to this video, that it is a historical Ford colour. So cool.
Hi michael moore, Happy to read you learned something from this video :-) I'm learning from the Care Takers all the time and I think that is so fun to learn about the cars, Lou
I believe that particular cooler, is a power steering cooler. Lots of 71-73 Cougars and Mustangs that were 351C powered, had them. My 4 cougars had them all 71-73.

I actually really like the 71-73 Mustang body style. Plus 71 was the only year you could get a 429 CJ/SCJ in a Mustang. But the 71 Boss 351 is one of my favorite Mustang's ever, only surpassed by a 65 Shelby GT350R and a 69-70 BOSS 302. The 71 Boss 351 was actually quicker than a 71 429 CJ Mustang in the quarter mile
Sounds like a wonderful line up of Mustangs. Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age :-)
@@loucostabile Until you get to the Thunderbird. In the early 80s, someone put it this way, "Imagine that the 57 was Rosanna Arquette and you just got married. You woke up in 58 and it was Roseanne Barr."
Pretty sure High Performance Cars magazine clocked a 71 SCJ at 13.40. That's from memory but I need to review my 1971 issues. Stock, unprepped, unmodded Boss 351s were low 14 second cars.
These were never my favorite Mustang’s. At least they were better than the Mustang II. I remember the first one I saw at the local Ford dealer. I was so disappointed. Given another 50 years, they don’t look so bad anymore.
Hi Dave, Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age :-) Lou
No story about the car? how much is original ? Whats aftermarket? Whats Original ....cmon guy
Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa Whaa Whaa Wha Wha Thanks for making me laugh this AM :-) Stay well Todd, Lou
Drives me crazy when the rear wing is at the wrong angle. As it is on this car it is actually producing lift. Look at how the Trans-Am cars had theirs. Should probably be about 5 degrees higher in the back.
Hi Clara Engl, Thank you for sharing the correct "Engl" :-) Lou

@@loucostabile this is a reference to the show btw on episode 11 season 3
Production Numbers: Boss 351: 1,806
Good to know, thank you for sharing, Lou
1971 Boss 351 only 1807 made. 😎❤️
:-)
badass

That hose loop with the fins approx 1" wide by 8" long is Not an engine oil cooler....a power steering fluid cooler mounted where the a/c commpressor shoud be or on top of the a/c on some cars.... Oil coolers are in front of radiator support
Thank you Larry Ruben for sharing tips.
Another extremely rare 1971 is the 429 SCJ. If you ordered the 429 CJ with 391 or 430 rear gears or drag pack, you received an upgrade in the engine with a different intake for the 780 Holley, solid lifter cam with stiffer valve springs, and transmission cooler. This was probably the quickest factory stock in '71. Of note; Lane Carey took one of these in the FAST (factory appearance stock tire) to a record 9.84 in the quarter mile. This was against much higher modified cars like 2/4 hemi's that still appeared stock.
Hi Ron Dye Channel, Thank you for viewing and your knowledge, Lou
I have never seen that colour on a 71 Mach 1
Hi Steviedee 73, Glad you were able to see this unique color :-) Lou
I owned a '71 Mach1 in Boise Idaho in this color that the PO painted over in White!
They are out there, I've seen a couple in the last few months that were originally that color. However, they'd been repainted in some other color.
still has the rev limiter
rare youll find those still in place with any cleveland headed engines of the good days!

So somewhere along the line someone added the Magnum 500s and the rear spoiler..... I think the '71-'73s Sportroofs look too busy with the rear deck spoiler added on, the flat rear roofline doesn't need any help IMO :-)
Hi 05gtdriver, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts. This one might not be for you. Hope you see many more cars on this UA-cam Channel you enjoy, Lou
@@loucostabile Don't get me wrong, I'd take this Grabber Lime Boss in a heartbeat! I'd just remove the rear wing 😁
Great car, but the '71-'73 Mustangs weren't very well accepted. They got too big and heavy for most folks and then the emission standards in '73 killed them dead. It took a long time for Mustang to get back to a powerhouse again. Good job, Lou!
Hi Jimbob, Glad you enjoy this Mustang :-) Appreciate the kind words, Lou
Jimbob, it's ironic 71-73s get called 'fat.' Even Lee Iococca called them a 'fat pig' at some point The real growth of the Mustang happened between 68 and 69. Between 70 and 71, the growth was like 1.5". When people say it got too big, I point out the 68 vs 69 growth. That normally shuts them up. It's just the 71 LOOKED less like a traditional Mustang and was getting more aggressive.
MAGNUM 500's not "sport rims"
Hi Joey Votta, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou
No shot sherlock at 2:21 he says magnum 500
After 1970, Mustangs became big and fugly.
