Muscle cars are really nice. But one day, you could find yourself in the middle of the jungle, reading a sign that says "Peligro Minas" (Danger Mines). So a suspension lift on something like a Mustang Boss 351 might be needed if you're the hero of your story.
Last time wb.artist20 did a lifted muscle car rendering, we linked his 1971 Dodge Charger creation to the world of Mad Max. But we also mentioned the Fast and Furious 7.
Now the 9th movie is out, filled with inspiring car stunts, like the one where Vin Diesel is driving a Dodge Charger sedan through the jungle. There's some shooting and danger involved, but you guys already know the drill.
Why a Mustang? Well, the Fords are under-represented in the franchise. Plus, this 1971 Mustang Boss 351 needs to get extra attention. Given the mods, the one in this rendering probably would go unnoticed. It's got the kind of front bumper you'd normally put on a Bronco and oversized tires wrap on Magnum 500 wheels fitting tightly inside chopped fenders.
Even though muscle car fans don't love this look, we feel that the car in the rendering belongs in a museum or at least a decent collection rather than being chopped for fun. That's because 1971 is the only model year for the Mustang Boss 351.
This model comes after the Boss 302 and 429, which were arguably more beautiful. But only a couple of thousand units were produced for this square-faced pony. The all-new Mustang was bigger than before and was supposedly more European-looking. The Fastback body changed to where the rear window was almost horizontal. In fact, they called it a "FlagBack" in one of the brochures.
Normally, the power would have to come from a Cleavland V8, the 351 denoting its 5.7-liter displacement. It was rated at 330 horsepower and 370 lb-ft (500 Nm) which are V6 numbers nowadays. During the Fast and Furious 9 scene in question, the crew has to hit the has and reach about 80 miles per hour to avoid being blasted by the mines. While 330 ponies sound like enough, they probably wouldn't be considering the oversized tires on this thing.
