1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback | Matching Numbers | 351-4V V8 | Automatic | $75,000 Restoration | Period Correct
We are proud to present this exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most highly sorted and faithfully restored 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastbacks currently available. Delivered new in August 1971 in Los Angeles, California, this matching numbers example originates from a dry-climate state, ensuring a solid, rust-free foundation from birth. Representing the final evolution of the classic American muscle era, the 1971 Mach 1 is an unmistakable icon — combining aggressive styling, long-hood proportions, and raw V8 performance.
At its heart lies the factory matching 351-4V high-performance V8 engine, paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission (upgraded specification referenced in period to C6 application for improved drivability). The drivetrain remains fully period correct, supporting both authenticity and usability, and has been comprehensively rebuilt to a very high standard.
This vehicle has undergone an extensive, no-expense-spared restoration totalling over $75,000 AUD in documented invoices and receipts, including a full engine rebuild, complete body restoration, and professional repaint. The result is a meticulously presented Mach 1 that stands as one of the finest examples in Australia today.
Attention to authenticity has been paramount throughout the restoration process. The exterior is finished in correct Silver Mist — replacing its original factory white — and is complemented by factory-correct Mach 1 striping, decals, and brightwork. The stance is completed with period-correct US Indy staggered alloy wheels, perfectly filling the guards and capturing the unmistakable 1970s muscle car presence.
The interior has been fully retrimmed in correct black Mustang vinyl, with careful preservation of original rear seating components to maintain authenticity. Every detail has been executed with precision, from trim fitment to factory-style finishes, ensuring the cabin reflects the original Mach 1 character.
Factory features include the signature honeycomb grille with integrated driving lights, rear window louvres, and front and rear spoilers, all correctly restored and aligned. All gauges and instrumentation are fully functional, and panel gaps and body alignment reflect a high-level professional rebuild. Both the original steering wheel and a period-correct Shelby wood wheel are included with the vehicle.
A new floor pan installation was completed during restoration, ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability. The result is a car that not only presents exceptionally but is also mechanically and structurally sound throughout.
This Mach 1 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored, investment-grade American muscle car that is turnkey ready — equally suited for concours display, club events, or weekend enjoyment.
