Another redesign for the Mustang came with the 1971 models. Bigger and heavier. The 1971 Mustang was a real porker compared to the 1965/1966 Mustangs. The curb weight on a 1966 K code Mustang Sportsroof was 2974 while the curb weight on a 1971 429 CJ Ram Air Mustang Sportsroof was 3607!
The 429 Cobra Jet and 429 Cobra Jet R (new moniker) were options on the Mustang. The 429 Thunder Jet wasn't an option. Both were again rated at 370 HP.
