71 Mustang Question

If the pedigree of the car is important, verify that the vin code matches the powertrain. The Ram Air hood was available with the 2 or 4v carb in '71. If the stripes you refer to as "Mach 1" are actually the Boss 351 style treatment, I believe they could have been ordered on the convertible, sportsroof(fastback), or coupe as an option and as part of one of the decor groups.

My favourite is a coupe with the Boss 351 stripes - and a stick. Had a chance to buy one years ago......you know the rest of the story.
