1971 was the last year of the high compression Mustang V-8’s. Much effort went into maintaining important originality including maintaining original interior and exterior colors and date code correct replacement parts. The original numbers matching engine, transmission, rear end and suspension have all recently been professionally rebuilt. The interior looks great, the car runs strong, no squeaks or oil leaks. Refurbished 8-Track AM/FM radio with I-Pod hook up. Super straight, solid, and under carriage. I can't find any signs of previous accidents. Stainless steel flow master exhaust system, Washington State car all it's life, I'm the third owner. I have the Marti-Report and window sicker.The original Autolite carburetor is included, which has been recently professionally rebuilt. For better reliability, a modern Edelbrock Performer carb was instilled in it's place.The Ram-Air air cleaner was a dealer installed option when it was purchased new. The previous owner/collector claims the mileage is correct (52,400 original miles) and that the odometer hadn't turned over, I believed him but there is no way to know for sure.
