    No longer the longest Mustang!

    Just saw a REVan evan video, featuring a 1971 429CJ, that mentions that the new Darkhorse is now the longest production Mustang ever made! Think the fact that the new Mustang may be heavier (and now longer) than ours, that they'll be the ones called Clydesdales?? Hmmmm

    Sold 1971 Mustang Center Dash Gauges (Oil, Alt, Temp)

    This cluster came with the last car I purchased. I went with aftermarket gauges and never installed these. Appear to be in great shape! $200 plus shipping cost.

    Car builders and the '71-'73 Mustang

    I've seen only a few restomod builds of our year cars and hope to see more builders look toward our Mustangs in the future.  I'm still waiting for that one build that knocks it out of the park! Even though I'm a Chip Foose fan, and thought if anyone could pull off a great '71-'73 build, it would...

    Oh, the double standards....

    So I just read another short write-up about the 1971 Mustang, and was disappointed to see how, yet again, the remarks focused on size and weight. No telling how many articles I've read where words like bloated, portly, or Clydesdale described the model, or coupled with remarks like declining...

    Carb Tuning with Narrowband O2 Sensor

    I've rebuilt, tuned and modified Holley and Holley-design carbs in various applications over the years, but have recently decided to try another tuning tool in one of my Mustangs. I recently had a full exhaust done on my Mach 1, complete with X-pipe, mated to my Patriot headers and, at the...

    "Free" Horsepower - a tale of two heads

    While this isn't a topic specifically about 71-73 Mustangs, it does share some DNA as it revolves around porting my 302 heads 🙂 My father and I are resto-modding a '73 Maverick and decided to build a stout 302 to set between the shock towers.  I have two early model 302s in my workshop/garage...

    Headers - Mach 1 w/400 engine transplant

    Wanted to pass this along in case it may be helpful, though I know a 400 engine is not a popular swap for 71-73 Mustangs.  So last spring we purchased a '72 Mach 1 that was in need of TLC but had good bones.  It was originally a 302/3-speed manual vehicle that, at some point, someone had...

    A Spin on Graphics

    So this idea began some time ago when I wanted a different graphic for my Mustang but wanted something tasteful and with a factory-like appearance.  As we know, it was quite common for musclecars to advertise their engine size on the car, and I particularly liked those that had it in large...

    351C Headers - Hedman or Hooker?

    Anyone know which header for 351C 2V heads provides most clearance around steering box for our 71-73s? Hedman or Hooker? Any pics?

    Headers to fit '72 Mach 1 w/400 engine

    Hi guys, need some help on this one! Just added another 71-73 Mustang to the family. This is a '72 Mach that someone has dropped a built 400 in to. Because of the taller deck height this engine is slightly wider than a 351C and because the 351M-400 used a big block bellhousing bolt pattern it...

    Gateway Classic Mustangs 1971 restomod

    Was watching the 1st Detailer's Cup Award competition on Velocity channel and saw a blue 1971 among the crowd. I believe it belongs to Gateway Classic Mustangs. Coyote swapped fastback. Seen those wheels before and they're starting to grow on me. I like the mix of classic and modern.

    A MeanMachine Hello

    Just a quick hello and Happy New Year to fellow 71-73 Mustang owners. I've been an owner and a fan of these cars for a long time. Here's a pic of my '71 coupe, which is a never-ending project. Some quick stats: 306 ci (10:1 comp) Holley 750, Performer RPM Air Gap Comp rollers, Lunati cam...
