Details

This Boss 351 R-code is one of 1,806 sold by Ford in 1971, their lone year of production, and has recently had a nut-and-bolt restoration completed by Karl Kustoms and Performance in Des Moines, Iowa. The restoration began with a documented 11,289 actual mile Boss 351ci and a multi-year search for NOS parts. Much of the restoration work has been overseen by two Gold Level MCA judges. The car was repainted in its original blue metallic and silver factory paint options, featuring a chin and rear spoiler. The deluxe interior is new in its blue plaid with high-back seats, Hurst shifter, optional instrumentation group, 8,000 rpm tachometer, and original Philco AM radio. Karl's premier engine builder professionally rebuilt the Boss 351ci engine to factory specs, including the B351 heads, aluminum intake, B351 exhaust manifolds, solid lifters, correct cam, Autolite model 4300 carburetor, and dual-point distributor. This Boss 351ci engine, when new, was rated at 330hp and 370 ft/lbs of torque; it now dynos at 376hp and 374 ft/lbs of torque and has only break-in miles. The car is equipped with an original four-speed Toploader transmission and Traction-Lok 9-inch limited-slip differential with 3.91:1 gearing. The Magnum 500s 15-inch wheels are wrapped in new and correct Firestone Wide Oval polyglas tires as indicated on the Window Sticker. It has proper assembly line markings, numbering and ID tags. The attention to detail is outstanding with the desired outcome to restore a low mile Boss 351 to a condition as if it just rolled off the assembly line. The car comes with its original Build Sheet, original Window Sticker, Marti report, dyno sheets, and thousands of dollars in restoration receipts.
