That one looks to be a good solid car. It checks most of the boxes for options for me. If I’m going 429 instead of Boss 351 would want a J code. This one is painted like a J code but it’s a C code. It looks to be a great driver that’s never been fully restored and shows some wear. A 15-20 footer. I’m really particular and want one that’s more fresh, correct and closer to how it was built originally. Doesn’t need to be a trailered concours example, but needs to be close.

You may want to consider attending the Boss Nationals <www.bossnationals.com> next month. There will certainly be some nice cars for sale there and, if not, the community that would know of any on the market.

I would love to but my work schedule won’t allow it.

FYI - Calypso Coral wasn't a standard color on the 71s. For reds, one could get Bright Red (code 3) or Maroon Metallic (code B). Calypso Coral would have been a special order paint, as it was still available on Ford Trucks.

Maroon metallic would have been special order as well Hemi.

Maroon metallic would have been special order as well Hemi.

I was going off the 2/71 sales book, which shows it as an RPO color.

Oh. Sorry Hemi. I went back and read again. At first I thought you were referring to Boss 351s but now I realize you meant colors available for all other 1971s. I've never seen a factory Maroon 71 Boss 351 but I think there is an individual who claims to own a special order maroon Boss 351.

Still searching and hoping to find something that isn't halfway across this country or in another one.

You might have better luck building one.

Not sure what you mean. Build out of what?

Keep an eye on this page: https://www.boss302.com/smf/index.php?board=27.0 It's the Boss 351 for sale forum.

Taking a sportsroof car in good initial condition and making it what you want. You may never find one that meets your requirements.
