1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 351 4 Speed Manual with Hurst Shifter for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.5) based on 609 votes
1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback 351 M code with 4 Speed Manual Transmission and factory optioned Hurst Shifter. Light Pewter Metallic with black knitted Mach 1 vinyl bucket seats. lack carpets and original Ford Motor Company steel wheels. hrome hub caps and trims fitted with General 2000XP RWL tyres. Factory Front Power Disc Brakes and Power Steering.
This is a numbers matching unrestored time warp example with just 46800 recorded miles from new. Fitted with the Cleveland M code 351 4 barrel V8 High Compression motor developing 285hp. This developed the same output as the Cobra-Jet of that year and just below the 330hp Boss unit. Like the 351 Boss this car shares the same 4 speed top-loader manual gearbox. lacked out NASA scooped hood and painted lower body sections.
Whilst this car has had some paintwork over the years and is showing cosmetic signs of its 42 years it is in an exceptional state of preservation. There is no evidence of any of the body panels ever having been replaced or repaired and the underside still retains most of its factory treatment. The door seals and fitments are still riveted in place as fitted at the Dearborn assembly plant and the only part of the original car that has had to be replaced are the carpets and rear bumper.
The original Mach 1 high backed bucket seats are virtually unmarked and have never been repaired. With the exception of a new Holly carburetor just fitted and a Edlebrock intake manifold the 351 M code engine is in factory trim and retains its original snorkel air cleaner. The engine has healthy oil pressure and pulls strongly and the 4 speed manual gearbox operates perfectly with a surprisingly light clutch. It is fitted with a straight through dual exhaust system that sounds awesome. check out the video! 
One reason for this Mustang's unique condition is it was last issued with a MOT in 1997 at 45985 miles (now 46800) and then put into dry storage for the next 16 years. We have since taken the car and carried out re-commissioning which included a complete brake overhaul. uel tank refurbishment. he fitting of a new Holley 600cfm Street Carburetor. new rear chrome bumper. ervice and MOT. Has just been to our specialist engine tuner for setting up and comes with its own very healthy Diagnostic Test and Tune Report. It is licensed (tax exempt of course) until September 2014 along with its MOT and both sets of original keys with factory tag. ack and spare wheel come with it. There is also a full Mach 1 decal kit which can be fitted if desired.
It is not often a car like this comes to market and offers a opportunity to acquire one of the last of the high performance Mustang's with such a high level of originality. In addition with very rare manual option in just about factory trim. ith such low miles and retaining its original and undamaged body.
