Very cool. My daughter likes helping me with the mustang for now. Trying to keep her interested. I even purchased a 73 vert that the plan is to. Hold for her when she turns 16. Will be a restomod with fuel injection etc. as for now she just likes spending time with dad in the garage and I am more than happy with that. I sure hope she will keep up the interest but I really want my kids to learn how to work on and fix cars like I did from my father. They never got to meet their grandpa but he would be proud. He would have been 64 yesterday.
Gary,
Based on the pictures I'd say you have nothing to apologize for as it looks great! It will be on the road soon enough and you'll be enjoying the fruits of your labor!
Probably looked like this:The guy wanted $3500 for the 72 and he thought it was a Mach 1 because the salesman told him that in 72. The engine compartment was a time capsule still had every factory sticker and even the letters that you see on concours cars on the firewall. The drivetrain was the only thing of value 351 CJ 4speed and locking 3.25 rear. The hood had separated from rust and the floors crunched when I touched them. The last 71 I saw was a lime green with black stripes in Hampton VA for $2000. Needed total resto. They are nice looking rides restored.

From "Mustang Special Editions". In it is a page and 3/4 long article about the 1971 "Special Value Package", also known as the "Spring Special" or the "Sport Coupe". They made 9,003 of them, all coupes (obviously), and all engine options were available.
Mike,Congrats on the new paint.
York0060,Here's a few pictures of my parents 71 Spring Special that we just finished up about a month ago, we have had the car since 1973.Hey guys. I just recently got a 1971 Spring Sport coupe. Apparently, there are around 500 made and I've only found one on the web that someone has. Does anybody know anything about these cars?
Thanks
How much we're the ones for sale going for?
While the cars are neat and somewhat unique, they are not overly valuable. One thing that makes them more rare is many bought and used them for parts. So to find one mostly original is tough. I remember some kids (sorry) bought one and ruined the originality on Youtube. It was red. After they were done it looked just like any other modded coupe. ÂHow much we're the ones for sale going for?
