One of my favorite Fords of all time and that's a very short list. Love how they have the appearance of a chopped top. Heavy car, but who cares? They are an extremely aggressive-looking musclecar.

I agree. The chopped effect really hits you when you're standing next to it. The neat thing about the '71s is that the 429 production was about 1/7th of the '70s, yet they still had 11.3:1 compression, & Ford went to the 4 bolt mains for the CJ in '71, whereas the '70 CJs had 2 bolt mains.

Forgot to add that this also has power steering, power disc brakes, & under hood/ under deck lid lamps.

Big bang for the buck!

I sold one of these as a "project" on ebay within the last year or so. Super cool cars!
