Once-in-a-Lifetime Find: 1969 Ford Mustang 428 Drag Pack Convertible Is 1 of 8 [View all]

When Kirt Fryer got a chance to buy a 1971 Mustang convertible, he didn't let international travel hold him back. He packed up and hit the road for Calgary, Alberta, Canada, from his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The fish on the end of this line was a big one: a 1971 Drag Pack Mustang convertible, which fits Fryer's mantra that goes like this: "It's a big-block, it's a Mustang, it's a convertible, then it's pretty rare."

Of course, rarity is relative. Every 1971 Cobra Jet convertible is rare, but what is super-rare is a convertible with the Super Cobra Jet, which these days collectors refer to as Drag Pack convertibles.

The same step up from Cobra Jet to Super Cobra Jet is a huge one with the 1969-1970 428 big-block convertibles. It's just that Fryer is well known as a 1971-model enthusiast, so he was extremely disappointed when he could not make a deal on the 1971 convertible, which was a real-deal Drag Pack Mustang. Then the seller surprised him.

"We're talking and he says, 'Well, I got another Mustang convertible you might be interested in, and I'll make you a little better deal on that. '"
