In 1971, Mustang received another thorough restyle, the final one for the first generation. The car grew in size and weight and featured a new sharper look with a much wider track. Unfortunately, the Boss 302 and Boss 429 versions were gone, but Grande and Mach I stayed, albeit with lower power ratings. However, there was one exciting model introduced in 1971, the Boss 351 (via Motor Trend).

Made for one year only, the ’71 Mustang Boss 351 was one of the rarest Mustangs produced with only 1800 made. It had a highly tuned version of the 351 V8 engine with around 330 HP. It was fast, good-looking, and more expensive than the Mach 1 version of the same model year, and today, it’s a true collector’s item.
