boss 351

[Justbad Joe]

Looking for a ballpark figure on the value of a Boss351,white, numbers matching, paperwork with owner history, minor paint touchup, no rust. Motor has been rebuilt. Odometer shows 40-60 thousand. Going off 2nd hand info.
Thanks,
Joe

Anyone here ever drive one of these Boss 351 Mustangs. Just wondering how they were in the performance dept. Back in the day I street raced a 69 Mustang with a 351 Clevland with my 70 L78 Chevelle. That Mustang surprised the hell out of me.

As I recall, that Boss 351 motor still had least 11:1 comp and a solid lifter cam, ballsy for 71

Frank, the Cleveland didn't come out till '70. It's been my observation that the heads were a bit too much for a showroom stock car, but the '71 Boss 351 had everything work together just right. Maybe someone who owned one will be able to chime in and say if that's accurate.

I've driven two low mile, original owner stockers. Grew up a block and a half away from one of them; I've known both cars since I was old enough to walk. A Boss 351 with a sharp tune-up is an animal in stock form.

I'll put it this way. If I was lining up next to a solid lifter big block Chevy or Street Hemi car, I'd pick a Boss 351 before a 428 Cobra Jet, Boss 429, or any other Mustang from that era. At least in stock or near stock form.

Two good buddies of mine here in town own a boss 351 and the other a boss 429.They constantly bicker back and forth as to who’s car held better numbers…..Apparently the boss 351 had better ¼ mile times then the boss 429! That’s ok….I’ll take the slower car.

Value is around 40-60K on the 351's right now.

The Boss 351 is a perfect combo of performance, handling and comfort. A 1 year wonder, that was and still is an overlooked car. Much like the 70 429scj Cobras, great performance at bargain prices.
