1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 429 Super Cobra Jet - Inspection And Drive (POV 4K HD)

Join me as I inspect this 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 429 Super Cobra Jet. This phenomenal Mustang was supplied by Smoky Mountain Traders of Maryville TN and the inspection was performed by Daniel of Classicautoappraisal.com. Tag along with me and we'll look over this awesome piece of history and the swan song to Fords big block V8 performance Mustangs.

Back in my day we used a magnet

[@DanielAutoValueGuy]

Hey @johnbelmore1178 thanks for tuning in. Magnets still work well! I only use the filler tool and paint meter to have numbers to put on paper as a point of reference to compare to other vehicles I'll find as comparable examples and explain what is an acceptable amount of filler versus what is not.

The damn thing sounds like a raging bull …..beautiful shape …beautiful colour….unbelievable sound….❤

[@DanielAutoValueGuy]

Thanks @Goran2551 it sounded great! And absolutely, it's not a concours car, but it is great shape for a restored car that someone plans on driving. The color combination looks great in person, sounded pretty bad on paper but turned out looking great. Thanks for the compliments!

[@Joe8648]

even some of the best restored cars will have a some body filler in a few places and others will be caked in it lol always do your homework when looking to buy a classic car.

Why order a brown interior?

[@DanielAutoValueGuy]

Hey Peter! It was ordered from the factory with Ginger interior (this light reddish brown color) it looked much better in person than I thought it would, the only thing I would have liked to see was a 4 speed transmission. But it was a phenomenal car to drive and access.

[@petervossos4816]

@@DanielAutoValueGuy yes I agree with 4 speed but a black interior would have blended with the black bonnet and the pewter exterior colour all the way!

Nice car. It is surprising the radio has 0 functionality to it.

[@DanielAutoValueGuy]

It was pretty nice! And unfortunately its one of the most overlooked items on 1960s muscle cars I perform pre-purchase inspections on. Functionality wise a lot of people will swap in a blue tooth radio with a factory looking front plate or hookup Bluetooth wiring to the existing factory radio. Thanks for tuning in!

How much was it appraised at?

[@DanielAutoValueGuy]

Hey Eric, it appraised very close to the dealer asking price at $87,000. Very solid for a nice restoration, although it wouldn't be in the category of concours restoration, and appropriately the price reflects that. Let me know if you have any other questions! Hopefully I'll have more driving videos of some other big block muscle cars for you all soon!

@@ericblom9568 they were beautiful cars then as they are now….i love American muscle and Australian Muscle cars …👍

[@DanielAutoValueGuy]

@@Goran2551 me too! XB Falcon is on the list, although I'll likely never see one stateside. I'll have to get really lucky or know the right person. Thanks for tuning in!

Cool car but not a big fan of 71 . Why build the Mustang on the Torino platform then not run it in NASCAR.
