seems a little spendy for the condition and being a 302 car, and that is some funky looking carpet.

soonerbillz, I believe if that one could talk it would have lot to say! Defiantly not a Grandé as that one has a standard interior and the Mach1 style front end appearance.
Is probably as you guessed, a 71 Spring Sprint. The Boss style Hockey Stick stripes were standard only on the Boss 351 and were only available as an option on the 71 Mach1. The 71 Spring Sprint was a coupe only release and was the only other way to get the Boss style stripes on anything other than the Boss or a Mach1.

I have limited info the 71 Spring Sprints. Since the racing mirrors and urethane front bumper were borrowed from the Mach1, the same colors that were available on the Mach1 should also have been available on the Sprint. Red was probably used a lot in advertisements since it was such attention getting color. (Ask any of your Police buddies)!

Am I the only one who noticed the typo in the Ford Spring Edition ad? They used an apostrophe with 'Dealers,' (TWICE!!) Which is possessive... not plural... and a common mistake still made these days - cracked me up.
