Hey Folks,

Could someone re-post how many 71 Cougar GTs were made and if its known how many 351s & 429s. Did they all have a hood scoop?

There is a person wanting to join our Ford club claiming to have one. Just curious.

Thanks!

According to CBTNs, there were a total of 787 '71 GT's. Here's a link on info on the GT's: www.cougarclub.org/registry/Cougars101/gt.aspx ,just scroll down. Sorry, I don't have info on the breakdown of engine production for the GT's. John

I don't know about the numbers, but there was a guy in a AL I believe who posted a blue '71 Cougar GT on this site several times. It did not seem to attract much interest.

Looks like 46 429 GT cars.

Interesting that all the base model convertibles with ram air where 4 speeds

All GT's, like the 69-70 Eliminators have a scoop!

There was also a 72 GT - Last time Phil Parcells and I discused it there were two on the data base.

Thanks everyone for the info. I had no idea that many 429 Cougars were built. Now did SCJ or drag pak apply to 71s?

An XR7 hardtop with a landau roof, 429 C code, auto, 3.5 locking, air, 8 track would make the ultimate sleeper.

There were exactly Zero 429 Super Cobra Jet Cougars in 1971.

3.25 was required with A/C - You would have had to go to the Ford Power parts catalog and create you SCJ cougar over the parts counter.
