Here you go.....a genuine Blue/sliver '71 Boss 351. Belongs to a friend of mine in Maryland....I took these pictures and threatened him with hate calls from being posted on the net and eventually shamed him into putting it into a new barn he was building....so now it resides in an actual barn. It COULD be bought...but not cheap. Neat car with a neat history...originally in Hawaii and then went to Northern, VA. He has had it for a LONG time.

 

You ought to talk your friend out of that one since you don't have that generation in your collection. kennyg

 

Paul, any pics of your Dan Gurney Special Mercury available?

 

I will never understand why people let cars like this just rot away.

 

Well the 71-3's are not my favorite...not that I wouldn't own a Boss 351, I just have too many projects already....although I do always keep it in the back of my mind.

Well this will puzzle you even more....he is in the Mustang parts business....what's worse is that he restored the car once and then let it sit. I think it has more to do with life just flying by and the next thing you know it is years later. It's not eating anything so he just let's it sit....at least it is under cover now.

Yes, it is unrestored and in line waiting for time(after my '65 & '67 GTs). I had it out at the Winged Warrior Reunion in '04 but really haven't driven it much since. I have some rust in the cowl that I have to attend to and eventually it will make it's way on to the rotisserie for a full makeover. It has the stock wheels back on it now, I borrowed the Vintage 45's from my '65 GT for that weekend.

This car was sort of a barn find without the barn...it sat in a friends back yard for 13 years.....he met a girl and got serious and started selling off cars. I had the choice between this one and a 1 of 6 green 85.5 SVO....I picked this one. It is one of the earliest VIN's in the Registry for the Spoiler II's.

 

 

Here's a few I've dragged out of places where the've sat for years and years....

 

Is that a Marauder ('63-64?)??

 

Sure is....'64.....found it by luck. I was dropping off a customers '55 Chevy for storage and it was sitting behind the garage there...the owner had a bunch of cars and had a stroke and his wife was selling off everything since he could no longer work on the cars. Mostly complete and pretty much rust free. Got it back to the shop, changed the oil and stuck a hot battery in it and it fired right up!

 

i have`nt been on the road much lately .. costs too much to cruise at 4 mpgs.. but `ill find something

I wanted that Mach 1 they had for 6500.

 

i`m doing the motor swap thing again .. a 351 iron head with automatic into the red bean .. a fresh 351 with aluminum heads and 5 speed into the stang .. the old 429 with slipomatic has gotten too tired .. ( and yes i play piano while i play with my toys )

 

Sounds cool

 

Thats a fun project

 

Here's mine...... My first car....... I'm 46 now....... Sometime I will get it back on the road......
