2023 Market Review - Ford Mustang Mach 1/Cobra-Jet/Boss 302/Shelby 1965-1973
All of these models has high collector appeal and long-term viability. The Boss 302 held its value while others have seen price increases the past year and in a tightening market, quality examples won’t decline too much or for long.
1971-73 Mach 1 351s and Boss 351s are undervalued compared to the USA and at $180,000, 428 Cobra-Jets look worthwhile. New RHD converted Mach 1s harm their chance of value gains as world demand grows.
A couple of the Shelbys sold in 2022 priced at close to A$500,000, were understandable with US GT350 sales averaging $280,000. Later GT350s are less than $200,000.
