    1971 Correct Steering Wheel

    That is exactly what mine looks like, This design was common at the time and Ford used the same two spoke steering wheel in several of its models back then including the Torino, Maverick, Pinto and their line of Mercury cars. The only difference is the emblem in the center horn cap. it should...

    1971 Spring Special

    Quite an old thread but here is mine and I have the Martini report along with the original build sheet. Martini indicates it is indeed a spring special which makes it unique. I kind of knew thus anyway since I also have the window sticker and original warranty card. I am the third owner.

    1971 Spring Edition Hardtop Coupe

    Bill73Ragtop & secluff Thanks for the insight. Does the Marti book also show add or subtract cost for a specific model and will it decode my build sheet?  TommyK  raises an interesting issue. Were there differences in Mustangs built in or for other countries like Mexico or Canada?  ...

    1971 Spring Edition Hardtop Coupe

    I'm pretty sure the 351W was available for the 71-73 models. I know it was available option for the Mustang as early as 1968. Where are you getting your info from. I need to read more on that along as a few other questions I have.  As for exterior colors.. Yes. I am aware of this. However, the...

    1971 Spring Edition Hardtop Coupe

    Thread dug up because I own a 71 Spring Special so I felt compelled to comment. And you?  In the 1971 Spring Special  I have been told that the engine offered was the 302 2v in the coupe and was manufactured at 2 plants.  I have one with the original build sheet, warranty card, etc.. And it was...

    1971 Spring Edition Hardtop Coupe

    That is not the original engine. The coupe and particularly the "Spring Special" had  a 302 2v. The R-code Boss 351c was only offered in the 71 Boss 351 Mustang. Ford manufactured 1,806 Boss 351 Mustangs in 1971, 591 are registered and accounted for on the Boss 351 Registry site. It might of...

    1971 Spring Special

    Or like the Mustang II Cobra referred to by R&T in 1977 as a sheep in snake clothing.  We used to refer to them and the Firebird Trans Am or the Nova SS as "all show and no go".   :)   That was an end to an era. The muscle car was officially dead.

    1971 Spring Edition Hardtop Coupe

     I also have a Spring Special that was purchased from the original owner. Mine is completely original except for the radio that was replaced sometime in the 80s or early 90s.  I got a replica radio for Christmas that I am ready to install next week. I put an electronic ignition on it a couple of...

    Horn

    Hi, Jay. I didn't install it. That is the way it was when I bought the car. I took it apart and tested the connection and it has power. I also took a wire and made a direct connection but the horns still don't work. Also, I am guessing that there should be a spring underneath the center piece...

    Horn

    Yes I have. And no jumping them across yield no results. I was thinking it was a relay or fuse. The fuses are fine but I am not sure where to loo for the relay. In any case I think the horn button will need to be replaced. Thanks, Joe All electrical components in the dash are working (except...

    Horn

    I have a 71 coupe and I would like to get the horn working. I tested the hi and low pitch horns and they appear to be working but the horn button is not. I checked for available replacement parts and can't find anything that even approaches original. Can someone please offer some advice? Thanks...
