When the name Ford is brought up many would immediately think of the Mustang first. Named after the P-51 Mustang fighter plane in World War II, the wild-horse theme was adopted and became an instant classic.
The original Boss Mustangs, the 302 and 429, were introduced in 1969 out of Dearborn, Michigan. The Boss went toe-to-toe with the Z/28 Camaro in Trans-Am racing and it looking like the era of the muscle car was about to begin. But just as the Boss was released in 1969, production was cancelled in 1970 due to tighter safety and emission standards. Hope seemed to be restored in 1971 with the introduction of the Boss 351 as it would be the last of the small-block performance cars and no pollution gear in sight.The 1971 Mustang was bigger and heavier than previous models in order to capitalize on the growing large, luxury coupe market. While many early Mustang fans were turned off by the new bigger Mustang, this one definitely holds an important stepping stone for every car that was to come after it.
