Within the past three to four years, a number of reproduction parts have become available, including bumpers, some body parts, hoods, grilles and rear quarter panels. Ram Air components are being made, too. More than 400,000 Mustangs were produced from 1971 through 1973, and parts suppliers are only too happy to cater to the car's huge fan club. These are relatively straightforward cars, and, with the exception of rust repair, are not overly tricky to fix. Weren't you paying attention when we told you that this was one of the hottest small-blocks Ford ever made? Seriously, though any number of modifications can be carried out, we'd guess that most Boss 351 owners will want to keep their cars in factory condition. Back in 1971, Ford had a number of suggestions for buyers who wanted to go racing, everything from beefier springs and rocker arms to bigger carburetors and manifolds. Performance magazines suggested replacing the Autolite with a Holley 750 double-pumper and an Edelbrock "Torker" intake manifold, you could coax 400hp out of the engine. Because the stock exhaust manifolds were somewhat restricted, replacing them with headers could squeeze out another 10 to 15 horsepower. 150 fiberglass unit will shave off 56 performance-sapping pounds. This is another area where we think most folks will want to stick with stock. There is a lot that can be done, though, with bigger roll bars, polyurethane suspension bushings, shock tower braces and subframe connectors. It's also possible to swap out the rear drums for discs, using parts from a Lincoln Versailles or a 1984-'86 Mustang SVO. We wouldn't do it, though, and we bet you wouldn't, either.

I would like to know who is doing the appraising. Was it done by a professional who is familiar with the particular make and model, and in touch with current market price's ? Or was it done by Uncle George who sells Winston Tires and saw a couple of Mustangs pass through the Barrett Jackson auction block on T.V. Cars needing work ( i.e. several mechanical components worn or paint / interior and trim marginal ) are often overvalued by sellers. To its owner, a car with a tear in the drivers seat may need "just a small seam repaired", but to a discerning buyer the interior will show wear that calls for replacement of the seatcovers, doorpanels, and carpet . Low priced "project cars" needing work seem like a bargain, but a zealous buyer could spend more on restoration than the finished car is worth. 2 condition . A low mileage car in and of itself does not raise value, what is more important is the condition of the car. 32,000 on up. For examples of some of these cars and options, see our Photo Gallery . The following price guide is for Coupes, Convertibles and Fastbacks with standard interior, "C" code 289 V8 engine and automatic transmission. A buyer might pay more or less depending on options or documentation of major repairs.
