I know I know...This is supposed to be a MOPAR site, but hey...The muscle car era wasn't all just about our Mopars. I really like this one and would jump on it in a NY Minute...cr8crshr/Bill

Guy up the block from us when I was young had one of these exact model years; his was burgundy.
I was attracted to the flip-ups and that side stripe. Seriously sharp car, even after he did the usual
air shocks/traction bars/fat mags treatment to it.

I’m not so much into the Fords or Mercs, but I’d love a ‘68 or ‘69 Hurst Olds or ‘70 1/2 T/A.

Always liked those. Nicely styled car.

I'm a fan and owned Ford, Chevy and Buick. I moved to the Chrysler family when I realized all the others were just too easy to work on with all the repro parts avail so I switched to 72 Charger, 68 Sport Fury and a 38 Nash for the challenge.

Nice looking but not for me.

From personal experience back in the day, it seems they were always a rot-bucket piece of garbage. It seems the model improved with the body-on-frame design in the following 72-on years. I had one, it was a comfortable slug.

Styling is ok to me. Not a bad looking car, but it would look better without the drag-inducing hood tumor, side door protection trim, and color gradient side applique. Different tailpipe extensions and different location for them would improve the looks. Rocker panel and rear window louvers look good.

A coworker had one. It was a wallowy boat compared to my '71 Satellite. I recall he later ran the boat aground and replaced it with a Mustang. He was hard core Ford.

Nice looking car; I suppose I could accept it if it was for free! All my money is for Mopars only! It always has been. I have never owned anything but Mopars all my life. I realized long ago that there is only so much my brain can handle, so staying in one world always feels much more familiar & comfortable. Something outside the Mopar world, however exotic, just doesn't move me like the Chrysler made vehicles I have owned my whole adult life!
It's a tuff act to follow as my first car, (A 65 Dart), cost me $300.00 and went past the 300,000-mile mark!
In fact, I use pet names for some of the better-known brands, like Mershitees & Bowel Movement Wonders! LOL!

Depends on how much $. The 1971 351C is the baddest of the bad *** 351’s. Most definitely a desirable car.
