1971 Mustang Mach 1 429 Video: Muscle Car Of The Week Episode 252

[@motorsforthemasses]

Watching this again 5 years on... I have a '71 429 myself built for export as it has been in the UK since 1971 (still LHD). Came to the UK as a 351 4V but I put a rebuilt, modified 429 in it running 360bhp and 500lb ft. Now midnight purple and 90% ready to get back on the road after 30 years off it.....wow, my last comment was 5 years ago, how time flies.

[@ewertonsaavedra9393]

My name is Ewerton Saavedra. I have a 1971 Mustang Mach 1 original 429 SCJ in Brazil. My car is the one of one Mustang 429 SCJ in my country, Brazil. My car was bought and imported to Brazil in 1971 and was on the cover of the most popular automotive magazine here, called 4 weels (4 Rodas), in the May 1971 issue. I bought the car after finding it abandoned in the back of a workshop in year 2001 for R$1,500.00. That's the current equivalent of only about $350.00. At the time, here in Brazil, nobody wanted these types of cars. I got lucky.

[@AlejandroP1980s]

Lucky i know of Colombia import too 1971 Shelby De Mexico

[@jamesmedina2062]

Did you fix it?

[@manowar5516]

This was such a streetfighter back in the day with a set of craigers, sticky mickeys, and a few bolt-ons. Today, this is such a valuable example. Glad to see the last one produced on this channel.

[@caratcranker5874]

Still interesting that ford could/should of got this motor up to the 450 HP range. I'm sure it wouldn't of taken much, and would of been as gutsy as Chev's 450 hp 427 Yenko's.

[@robertmazzonesr4607]

Carat Cranker They were underrated like many were back in the day they actually made more like 425-450hp, in a 4000lb Torino they ran high to mid 13's at 101-103 mph stock on street tires.

[@lewisshepard9239]

The thing that was funny is,it’s baby brother,Boss 351 was quicker in the quarter.

[@JackF99]

Actually the post-1970 Mustangs were never valued until recently and only because 1965-70 cars became too expensive.

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

​@@lewisshepard9239 Actually in the 1/4 the 429 SCJ Models were a tick quicker than the Boss 351,s. And in any other type of racing the Boss 351 would easily perform better than the 429 cars, the Big Blocks were very nose heavy, the Clevelands weren't the lightest engines out there either with those Huge Cast Iron Cyl. Heads, but were still lighter than the 429,s. The 71 Boss 351 is one of the quickest Mustangs off the showroom floor, Definitely it's highest performing Cleveland Powered Mustang, and probably my Favorite Mustang from the Early years, but the 71 Super Cobra Jet Mustangs are right behind them in 2nd Place in my book. Definitely two of my Favorites. The FE Big Block Mustangs were a little before my time, But I've always liked the 68,s with the 428 Cobra Jets definitely Fastbacks. I was Never a fan of the Coupes, bought the only one i would consider owning would have to be a 68, 428 Cobra Jet, when you got that Monster under the hood, it definitely offsets the look of the Coupe for me.

[@371francis]

Last big block in a Mustang...enough to make a grown man cry.

[@cobracharmer6178]

BOSS HOGG ; Here's something that might make you whimper a little more. Notice the shock towers are modified at the factory. Why? Boss 429 that's why. Never made production. :(..

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

@@cobracharmer6178 The shock towers don't need to be modified for the 429 Cobra Jet Engines, they drop right in. Only the Boss 429 Engines, they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT then the regular 429 or 460 Engines, Especially the Cylinder Heads.

[@cobracharmer6178]

@@badass6.0powerstroke10 ; Read again what I typed. "Notice the shock towers are modified at the factory. Why? Boss 429 that's why." The 71-73 Mustangs wouldn't have to go to KarKraft for shock tower modifications. So that tells you, Ford had planned to install the Boss 9 on the assembly line. Unfortunately, Ford cut deep into the racing program, and there's no recorded factory 1971 Boss 429. Next time you're at a car show and see ANY 71-73 Mustangs, look at the shock towers and you'll see they look like the 69-70 shock towers of the Boss 429. Have a great Thanksgiving. John :)

[@davethompson3140]

Don’t cry too much; they make engines more economical with smaller displacements that would blow this car off any track. And they handle much better because of a better weight balance.

[@charlesb7831]

Just seeing this video now, I have a 1972 Grande "H" code, I pulled the 351 Cleveland and dropped in a balanced and blueprint 429cid with a mild built C6 and 4:11 posi. It's a blast to say the least lol. I bought the car when I was 15, I'm 50 now and hopefully my son takes it now.

Thanks for posting. When I was 16 in 1971, a HS friend's older brother had a new silver Mach 1 just like this one - 429CJ, 4-speed. I loved it.

[@seadog2396]

Kevin, There is no debate: You are the most talented auto reviewer ever. Really like your work...

[@carldemusz770]

I bought one brand new in 1971. I ordered it with the Drag Pack, which included the 429 SCJ with ram air, and a 411 Detroit locker rear. The Drag Pack was over $700 of the $4,800+ price.

[@jamesmedina2062]

You found the secret elixir to long-lasting! You don't look your age, sir. I was born in 72 but park in handicapped zone now! You knew what to order back then. How long did you own it?

[@jamesmedina2062]

They are unique mix of good handling and good ride. No other car feels the same from driver's seat huh?

[@zoso1980]

1971 was and will always be the pinnacle of the Mustang design. Best looking, most refined and just an amazing car. I'll take a nice M-Code 351 with 14x7 steel wheels and trim rings any day. No hockey stripes either.

[@carlosg1165]

For me it’s the most beautiful design from the 70s looks exotic and very fast standing still .

[@kennethc.bishop7090]

When I was in high school thirty-plus years ago '65-'70 Mustangs were already classics and I felt embarrassed for anyone driving around in one of these land yachts. Now I look at the '71-'73 and I really dig it. It has to be the right one though. A ''71 Grande with bumper guards and a vinyl roof will still garner my pity. It's got to be optioned just so - blacked out hood with scoops and pins, body colored bumpers and Magnum 500s. Back in the day I saw so many of these fastback (SportsRoof?) models with louvers I assumed (until now) they were a FoMoCo option. Thank goodness 60's musclecars were still affordable when I turned 16. My cherry '69 Acapulco blue on black 351w 4v Mach 1 with hi back buckets, console, power everything and dealer installed rear window louvers set me back in 1981 a cool $2750. I bought it from a divorced stewardess that lived in our neighborhood. Yes, it was an automatic. She called it a "Ford". It must have been settlement booty along with the house.

[@jamesmedina2062]

The Grande with vinyl top was just a conservative car for the performance lover that wanted to drive a sleeper and go to work in an office. My father was such a guy. He always tapped on the throttle only and not until I was given the car did I discover it could drive much faster although it did bog badly from a stop while racing, in 302 guise.

[@Richard4point6]

Kevin, you do a great job, and speaking of jobs, you have the dream job that I always wanted.

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thank you Richard!

[@johnnoeth2191]

[@derekstewart8175]

Since these cars are getting so rare in factory type condition it would be really neat to do a 5-10 second idle clip just to hear how these cars sounded imo

[@lemmythebulldog8812]

Want to hear it? I got a 429 mach 1 with flowmasters

[@motorsforthemasses]

I have a 351 '71 Mach1 here in the UK; but as I'm restoring it, am replacing the engine with a modified 429, updating the interior in a modern retro style, changing the colour and wheels. It is my dream car...that I will never sell.

[@henryescat1104]

I had a 1973 with the 351 cleavland.. It was so awesome!

[@mustang429cobra]

I owned one of these 1971 429 cobra jet Mach I Mustangs and it was stolen. I had no idea that Ford made so few of these. There will never be another Mustang like the 429 cobra jet. Thank you for a great review.

[@jesse75]

I know where one of these cars is sitting and in need of restoration. My daughter's found the car while bicycling our small California city.

[@jeremythompson9895]

Always wanted a 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler 429 SCJ/4 speed Drag Pack. My favorite Ford from the true muscle car era besides the super rare and super expensive 1966-67 R-Code 427 Fairlane. Also love the 1969 428 CJ/SCJ Fairlane Cobra Fastback.....Ford's answer to the Plymouth Roadrunner/Dodge Super Bee

[@cobracharmer6178]

Jeremy Thompson; The 1969 Roadrunner went to about 80,000 homes. As for the 1969 Cobra, about 18,000. I own a 69 candy apple red fast back, 4spd. Take it easy. John

[@SteveRood1]

This is an interesting fact: the 429SCJ was only available in The Mustang in 1971, but the Torino, Mercury Cyclone, Falcon, and Thunderbird all had this engine as an Option in 1970 ! The fact that only 1.318 429 Cobra Jets were made in 1971 says something about the pricing and styling if the 1971 Mustang (Generation 1B). Ford were struggling with the emissions in 1971, the Mach 1 was now standard with the low compression F code 302 2V V8, but the 351 4V Cleveland cars were still the Best buy. For 1971 Ford also had the Boss 351, as a High performance Car which was a One Year model Only. The Holy Grail for 429 Ford Mustang Owners are now the Super Rare 429 Cobra Jet Coupe's and Convertibles 😎🇺🇸

[@gregorytimmons4777]

I'd have thought the Boss 429 would be the holy grail.

[@jamesgould7825]

They didn't make Boss 429s in 1971 but a Boss 351 would be more rare for 72 which is my favorite Mustang from 71-73

[@cobracharmer6178]

Stefan Rood ; You could still get the 429scj in the 1971 Torino GT and Cobra. For 71, the 351 Cleveland hi-po became standard in the Torino Cobra. And as far as I know, there wasn't a Boss 351 option for the Torino. There were no small block Fairlane/Torino Cobras in 69-70. From 67-70, Shelby Mustangs could be ordered with 351 or 428. The 1970 Falcon, which was just a standard Torino 500, had EVERY engine option. Falcon was retired after 1970. Never ever heard of a Cobra Jet powered T-Bird.They were 429 Thunder Jets. I was at Ford Nationals in Carlisle, Pa. I was looking at a 1971 Mach 1 with the 351 Cleveland. The 1st time in 40+yrs, I noticed the shock towers looked exactly like the shock towers in the 69-70 Mustang Boss 429. Were there plans for the Boss 429 in 71? This would've saved time and money to drop a Boss 429 in the Mustang on the assembly line. 1968-71 Fairlane/Torino shock towers were pretty much the same.Which probably means, Ford had no intention for a Boss 9 Fairlane/Torino. I find it hard to believe you couldn't order the Boss 9 in 71. John

[@charlesvan13]

The 429 was too wide to fit in the 69-70 model years. But I think the 351C might have been a better engine for a smaller car.

[@JackF99]

429 CJ was available in the 1970 Mustang. Odd but the end of FE motor series 428CJ was offered alongside the more sophisticated canted-vale 429 in the same car.

[@mannyr.2756]

Yes I am a fan anything muscle car I love it, although in that time in error I was around I was too young to participate in it, it's been said that the muscle car era came and went but it is back with today's muscle cars the kinds of performances vehicles that are there out today is phenomenal I'm glad to participate the second time around but I can't help but to say that the first muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s were fantastic machines, keep doing what you guys are doing thumbs up.

[@jameskish4044]

The fit of the front spoiler looks a little funky, I had a 71' Mach 1 351C 4-V Ram Air Hurst 4 speed, with the argent front spoiler, it did not dip up in the center like this one.

[@gregoryhagen8801]

Spoilers don't help performance. They increase drag.ever see spoilers on a cop car?

[@johnwhitneykokalis9990]

Always loved this model and year. And I am saying this as a Camaro purchaser from the 68 to the 82 and 89 models I have owned. I will never forget that a buddy of mine let me take a blond Chic out for a concert in a 1969 Boss that he let me borrow in 1974. Now that was a true friend to let me do that and I will never forget him or that Car or the Chic for that matter. As a Camaro lover, I have always admired and respected the Mustang even as a GM employee up until 2008 when I retired. Now I drive a Caddy ATS V which is faster than all those old mussel cars of that era.

[@OGBootleg]

2:55 I really don't think the Hubcaps look boring at all, they look awesome!

[@zoso1980]

Yes, the 14x7 and the 15x7 rings cap look is iconic. Shame more cars don't wear them today. It's rather frustrating that GM and Dodge owners of the era have repops of the wheel trim rings. Ford owners of this era? Good luck! NOS or used. You don't want to know what a set of those 15x7 steel wheels and NOS trim rings and 10.5" hubcaps go for. It'll shock you.

[@scottthomas9043]

71 the year that I was born and my big brother had a 71 black 4 speed that I remember because he still had it when I was 6-7. I think that car is one of the coolest looking Mustang ever build. The car is gone and so is my big brother but I can still remember that big beautiful black mustang and the was she roared when he would step on that gas pedal.

One of these was the first mustang I ever saw that blew me away. There was a yellow Mach I, (71-73 not sure what year) in the parking garage at Disney World in FL when I worked there. I was floored. I didn't like Mustangs at the time because I didn't know about the older ones when I was 19 back in 2000. It was so cool and had such a huge ass to it that I fell instantly in love.

I had the very last one off the line (certified through Marty Auto Works, and with Marvin, the 429 registry holder) I still have a copy of the Marty Report. Looks like her. IF the last 3 digits of the VIN are 304, it IS my old car, and the last off the line,429SCJ-R Drag-Pack. Named her Brickhouse. If the last 3 of the vin is NOT 304, you all may want to revise the statement, as the above car is not the last off the production line with a 429. Remember, just because the last in sequence vin is out there (and also documented with Marvin), the final build date/release date can be verified, as was Brickhouse. Brick house was bucked 7/22/71, and finish being built 8/05/71. Please let me know, she is the correct color.

Such a beautiful car, I can still see the pictures he had of it.

[@moparqet]

Great video on a great car, a lot of good information. However one bit of information is incorrect, the 385 motor was available on a 69 and a 70 Mustang because the 429 boss was available in both of those cars, though the boss was very different from the Super Cobra Jet they were still based on the same 385 429 block with some exceptions in the machine work.

I Love the 71-73 Mustangs, more so the 71-72 Models, like that grill better, but 71 was probably the Best Performance wise, with the Awesome Boss 351, and the 429 SCJ Models, both were 71 Only. When it comes to Mustangs both those 71 Models are my favorites, when it comes to early Mustangs, Would Love to own both of them, a Boss 351, and a 429 SCJ, with Top Loaders in Both ! I know it's mandatory on the Boss. For 1971 the Mustang was one of the Quickest Muscle/Pony Cars for that Model Year. You either Love the 71-73,s or you Hate em, and i Definitely Love em. And when it comes to "Boss" Mustangs, the True Boss was produced in 1971 in my book. And the 72 R Code Low Compression Cleveland is one Rare Mustang with only a couple hundred being made, was basically a Low Compression Boss 351 Engine, that you could've gotten in a Coupe, Convertible, and also the Mach 1 body style, such a Rare option for the 72,s.

The 71 mach 1 cobra jet is a cool design, don’t try and change my mind, I love the big ass fast back. I have a pewter one that I’m currently building a 429 for it.

[@stevefowler2112]

Fyi, the 429 CJ/SCJ block (One in the same..."CJ" cast in the lifter valley) were 4 bolt main blocks....really the only difference in the CJ/SCJ engines was the SCJ had a mechanical cam and a Holley carb and the CJ had a hydraulic cam and a Quadrajet carb (Yes a GM Quadarajet...it was the only Ford to ever come from the factory with a quadrajet carb). The SCJ engine in stock trim when properly tuned would pull in the range of 425 - 450 HP on a dyno....with minor head porting, induction system (read aluminum intake/carburation) and headers it would pull over 500 HP and with aggressive roller cam setup would approach 600 HP.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

Googling CJ-SCJ show the SCJ as having more forged internal engine parts like crank, rods and pistons. Also they say the CJ is 2 bolt main while the SCJ is 4 bolt.

Always enjoy seeing the hot Mustangs!

[@LthlMustang]

I love every and all episodes. Keep up the great work and so many awesome cars.. thank you, Amazing channel

[@lawrencewhitmire6740]

A good friend had one of these & it was the baddest car in town at the time. However, my 68 GT 500KR (which he helped me build) beat his Mach-1, but not by much. Traded my 68 for a 70 Cougar Eliminator that had the 428 SCJ. That car was an absolute beast. Sold it it for $500 in 1976 when I went into the Army.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

What a beautiful car, how could people criticize it when it came out? Wow.

[@MiguelAngel-pz2sd]

Thank you for the very informative video, I am a big fan of Mustangs particularly the Snakes and Super Snakes..

[@SteveRood1]

The last of the very Last !

[@davidgarris2513]

My friend/neighbor had one with the 351 Cleveland. Black w gold stripe. The ONLY Mustang I ever cared for. Space age looks , realistic price.

[@jimmeyer7632]

THAT MUSTANG IS BEAUTIFUL !!!! I HEARD SOMEWHERE THAT THE 71 BOSS 351 WAS THE FASTEST MUSTANG ... I GUESS THEY COULDN'T FIND A 69 BOSS 429 PROPERLY TURNED UP

[@MrJett1971]

The Boss 351 was the quickest 0-60 and quarter mile, but the 429 would beat it in top speed.

[@lewisshepard9239]

@@MrJett1971 you are exactly right. Boss 351 was a beast.

[@Red-rl1xx]

I noticed that the clock in the dash doesn't work, as do some others I've seen in these videos. Do the Brothers ever get them fixed?

[@TheFokker03]

that's one cool car.last of the line of big block mustang muscle.

[@markwegner6100]

Very cool!

[@marcgilbert1497]

Sooo bad-ass!

[@a.k.a.A.E.1]

what a beautyfull blue dream car ! i love it !.

[@duanelehmanseidr4325]

Wow. Its gorgeous!! They must be asking close to 100,000 for it.

[@branon6565]

Wonder what, with it being the absolute last factory installed BBF Mustang, wonder what it's worth? It's beautiful and badass regardless....

[@gerald4133]

Beautiful car. I had a school bus deep yellow. Mach 1 trim in black.

[@eolafan100]

Is that a scuff mark on the drivers door or a reflection?

[@Red-rl1xx]

While I'm not usually a big fan of plain hubcaps, the trim rings help.

[@SteveRood1]

Red 13 personally I think the trim rings and Hub caps look way better than the always present Magnum 500s

[@Red-rl1xx]

Stefan Rood Yeah, the Magnums, while they do look good, can be "over used". It's not like the manufacturers didn't offer other wheels/hubcaps. There's a video of another one of their cars on here, a '70 Torino, that has the hubcaps/trim rings, and it looks good.

[@SteveRood1]

Red 13 exactly. The only stock Mustang which had the Magnum 500s was the Boss 429. Personally i think the style, color and Engine sets the tone for What Rims look good

[@Nemoticon]

I've always loved the Mach 1.... it's a completely different car from the original with its own identity and character, in spite of the shared badge, I don't see the comparison. The Mach 1 looks like a beast and makes no apology for it.

[@hom240]

Correction. The 385 series engine was installed in a 1970 also. Known as the Boss 429. The quickest mustang I believe was the 1968 428SCJ drag pack. A 4 speed with 4.30 Detroit locker rear. 10s in the quarter were not uncommon.

[@StuartOliver83]

I prefer the earlier model although only because old is gold to me but 70's stuff I really do have a soft spot for 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

I never understood why Ford didn't put a 460 in the Mustang's the 72-76 torinos got them and I've seen a ram air 460 in a 73 it was put in by the owner and it was a terror.

[@DJPenguino51]

My guess would be that the insurance companies were hammering away on the muscle car / pony car, which was hurting sales of those that had high performance V8's. The 1973 oil crisis didn't help either. Pontiac was the last one to offer a high displacement V8 (the 455) in their Trans Am and so on.

[@413x398]

While I love this channel, I cringe every time one of the cars peels out on a surface strewn with rocks. I can feel the tires getting chunked and the paint getting chipped. Surely the Bros can afford to have a street sweeper clean that lot up. Details, details! Great job as usual, Ken!

[@413x398]

I mean Kevin. Sorry. Some of those rocks got into my brain.

[@mr.2cents.846]

Wow. Al that makes this a very rare Mustang.

[@rrmech11]

Cool Kevin

[@MisterMikeTexas]

The car has the look, the power, and it's the last of the first gen before Mustang II.
