- Did you know Ford was exporting Mustangs in the 1960s and 1970s? This is a rare 1971 Mach 1 Mustang with 26 options and the big 429 Cobra Jet under the hood.

If I could get my dream car it wouldn't be no Tesla or Ferrari, it would be a red 71 Mach 1 with a 351C. In my opinion the big 71-73 Mustangs are the most beautiful cars ever produced.
Might as well choose the 71 Boss 351, the Baddest Cleveland from the factory. It was a Big Block Eater !
I Love the 71-73,s too, especially 71 and 72 Model Years, 71 was definitely the performers out of the bunch, the Boss 351 and 429 SCJ,s were 1971 Only.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 Agreed, the Boss 351C is the king of small blocks. The 71 would definitely be the best but beggars can't be choosers so I would definitely take a 72 or 73 if I could afford it. The 71-73 Mustangs used to be affordable compared to the earlier Mustangs but now they are all out of my price range. You are definitely right about the 71 being the best.
@@save16thave Yes, myself also would be happy with any 71-73 Mach 1.
Damn straight
We picked up a 71 Mustang mach 1 351C C6 M code fastback car. Still all there.
That's a beauty with a great story. I had a '72 Coupe with a modded 460 Police Interceptor that I owned for 38 years before I let it go. This one has so many amazing options! Very special.
In April 1971, I bought a 71 Mach 1, Grabber Green from Palmetto Ford in Charleston while I was stationed on the USS Hunley AS31 submarine tender. By June I was in New London parking it for 6 months after transferring to the USS George C Marshall SSBN 654. Great car never let me down.
My Dad bought a 71 new and it was actually our family of 5's daily driver for years until he sold it and it went to England...great memories!
8 tracks. That brings back memories.
The only one I can remember is Heart. I think i played that till it wouldn't play anymore.
429.. Early 80's I bought an F-150 stepside with 300 6cyl, automatic (C6 if I recall). Bought it with the explicit plan to install a built 429. Bought the 429 out of a car that has the same front end as your wagon. Spared no expense on the motor. Forged pistons, Isky cam, balanced, big carb on top of an aluminum manifold, Mallory ignition. Built the C6.
That was one fun truck. Loved the sound, sounded just like a NASCAR motor, definitely get the juices flowing when it rev'd and it loved to rev. Embarrassed a lot of hot cars with that truck.
I love that green,I remember seeing a '69 or '70 green Cougar w/ the Boss 302. Would've loved to have that car!
US servicemen transferred to Australia could bring their cars with them at the government’s expense but if they wanted to take them home they had to pay for the costs themselves so most cars stayed here. I’ve got a ‘72 Ford Galaxie that came to OZ that way, it has a sticker on the front bumper from Bollings AFB.
I have a 70 M code delivered to the UK in 70 and optioned for UK roads. The Marti report indicates it was delivered without cost and I believe as a gift to a UK race driver who was successful for Ford in the late 60s in the states. I’m still researching the original owner. The car is listed as plain m code with Ford directional headlights option for rhd roads and uprated suspension.
Always loved these cars. Love my '73 Mach 1 351C! And I still have all my old 8 tracks!
My 71 Mach 1 had the 429 SCJ. Same exact color...man I wish I still had that car.
What a great car with lots of interesting parts. Great video Evan, thank you.
Excellent content! My first mustang was a 1972 Mach 1, I still have a few 8 track tapes stashed away!
Beautiful car Mark. I owned the 1971 Boss 351. Mine was all loaded with power windows, factory 8-track. Mine was blue with silver striping!
What a fantastic car. Love all the details, and so nice to see that Mark is not just an employee, but an enthusiast as well
But…it’s just so wrong to se Mark in casual cloths. I wouldn’t have recognized him not being in Ford corporate regalia 😂
Freaking Sweet! I’m liking the big horses the more I see them!
Very Cool Trade Sir! Maverick Grabber 71 had the fog light switch. Also had an adjustable side mirrors! Same Grabber Paint colors!
Pretty cool
I had a friend back in 1971 that bought a 1971 mustang with the 429 scj and 4 speed and he raced a 1971 boss 351. It was a close race. The 429 scj won the race.
Love that car, Thanks Evan great video!
Very cool content, thanks.
Very cool car
Great car...thanks
Mustang, the universal musclecar.
❤😊 love that sweet 71 mustang
My 1972 sportsroof has rear widows that lower and they are not electric. That's because I fitted 71-73 coupe rear winding mechanisms and window sliding plates into the sportsroof, they fit right in. Only modification required was to drill holes in the rear interior plastic panels for the crank handles.
Probably my favorite color for the fords of that era. Less common as well.
Awesome car!
Super Cool Car !!
❤😊 I would love to have that in my garage 71
It reminds me of Dennis Collins 67 Vietnam R-code “ Bullit car” Mustang he found. 1of1
I didn’t see any 76 78 Mustang 2 cobra 2’s but there’s hundreds of 79 up
really cool car. love the color combo. i think white interiors are just kick ass man, too bad Ford hasnd done a white interior since the fox (the best) mustangs
Very cool and interesting car. I would have thought it would be required to be right hand drive over there. Can't imagine they built any RHD 429 or even 390 and 428 musclecars, steering box fit would be an issue.
I was in Germany in the 80”s and the commisary had the same program.
They put a call out on USS CORAL SEA CV-43 bulletin board on bringing back cars in hanger storage rank & sometimes rate mattered!
I own a couple 428s cjs and 428 police interceptors
My bad I meant 429 instead of 428
😊 Mark one I would love to have that in my garage for 428 engine
WRONG , it's a 429 engine! ENTIRELY different BLOCK !
I'd make that my daily driver.
👍👍
is this the same 429 that was in the Boss the prior yr?
Nobody notice the temp gauge being darn near on the H. Sweet car though
Not Commissary....it would be through the PX or BX system.
Post or Base Exchange.
You’re right, I couldn’t think of the right word at the time. I get tongue tied sometimes as it’s all done real time.
@@MWILSON7 It's cool.... I knew what you meant.
Oil pressure gauge not working and the temp gauge almost reading hot. 😳
Couple of incorrect facts stated by the 429 Mustang owner.. The 429 was first introduced in 1970, not 1971 and the advertised compression ratio was 11.3:1 not 11.6:1
You’re wrong. The 429 SCJ and CJ was in 70. Torino and King cobra/std cobra.
The 385-series engine was introduced in 1968 in the T-Bird, and available in the Mustang as a 429 in 1971. Yes, it was also available in the Torino/Cobra.
You can find the 1971 Mustang engine line up in about 10 seconds on various credible websites. Not to mention I’ve seen dozens of 429-powered 1971 Mustangs. It’s also in the NHRA classification guide as a production engine.
@@revanevan that’s not what I’m referring to. He mentioned 71 was the first year for the 429. It was in both the boss, and Torino. Torino had CJ and SCJ engines
@@nathanieljones7981 Yes, you are correct, I imagine he was speaking in terms of the Mustang. I appreciate the correction and thanks for watching.
I imagine so, I met you at a event last year, really cool to meet you there.@@revanevan
