Description

1971 Ford Mustang Convertible – The Mustang underwent a complete redesign for 1971 and grew bigger in every way. Compared to the original 1965 model, the 1971 Ford Mustang was 7.1 inches longer than the 1965 model, 6.8 inches wider and around 500 pounds heavier. It was also 2 inches longer than the 1970 model, and 3 inches wider. Sales in 1971 hit 149,678 units divided into 65,696 hardtop coupes, 29,956 fastbacks, 6,121 convertibles, 17,406 Grand hardtops and 36,449 Mach 1 fastbacks. Prices began at $2,911 for the hardtop, $2,973 for the fastback, $3,227 for the convertible, $3,117 for the Grande and $3,268 for the Mustang Mach 1. Power windows and a rear defroster were offered for the first time, but the rear window slats were deleted as the fastback window was too flat. The dash was simplified to three large gauges, but enthusiasts could still get a sports option with gauges instead of warning lights and a tachometer.

When you stop to think that just over 6,000 ’71 convertibles were produced 53 years ago, it’s fair to assume that very few are still cruising the streets today. Additionally, it’s hard to find a respectable ’70’s convertible of any flavor for under $20k these days. When we received this Mustang convertible into our inventory we knew it was a great find and will make a great addition to any garage. We love the combination of the Yellow paint and the Saddle Tan interior! Good looks paired with a V8 engine, automatic transmission, and power top make this Mustang a fun classic to drive. In preparation for resale we installed brand new carpet, top, and tires. The door speaker covers and floormats are also new but not shown in photos. This is a factory A/C convertible but the 134 compressor is not currently installed. A complete list of features and options include; 351 V8 Cleveland, Auto, Center Console Storage, Chrome Bumpers, Power Top, Power Disc Brakes, Pioneer AM/FM/CD (w/ remote), 15″ American Racing Torque Thrust  Chrome Rims, and New Cooper Cobra Raised White Letter Tires!
