The 1971 Mustang appeared in September 1970 after approval by Ford's new president, Bunkie Knudsen, who had come from General Motors. The car grew another three inches in width so that the big block 429 V8 would fit without a major suspension redesign. The hardtop gained a sloping tunnel back rear window, a Spring Special package ran from March to May, and the SportsRoof was sold in base, Mach 1 and Boss 351 forms.
