Used Car of the Day: 1991 Ford Mustang

by Tim Healey

Published: December 29th, 2023

Today we bring you a Fox body that's ready to race. This 1991 Ford Mustang is setup for drag racing.

It's heavily modified -- I will let you wade through the listing. The highlights include a racing dashboard, a safety cage, aluminum heads, a Holley carb, nitrous, and more. The car is street legal, and according to the seller, drives well on the street.

It's a mild surprise we don't feature Fox bodies more in this slot -- I am a former Fox body owner and would love to buy another Fox (much closer to stock than this, though). But I just don't see them often when combing the for-sale listings in our forums.

Yes, Foxes are common. Especially race-prepped ones. Still, some of you may be looking for something you can drive to the dragstrip, race, then drive home.

If so, this Texas-based car is listed here for $39,900.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The only reason you'd want to buy this car is to race it, and run it in drag n' drive events. The thing I was looking for in the description (and don't see) is any mention of best ETs and trap speeds, or pictures of timeslips. Also, where are the engine or chassis dyno numbers?
It runs nitrous, so it would compete in a power adder (supercharged, turbo, or nitrous) class.

EBFlex Virtue signaling is expensive. But we all knew the corpse wasn’t interested in actually doing what he said. He, once again, was trying to buy votes. It’s surprising to see the propaganda rag of the Democratic Party, WaPo, is actually holding the corpse accountable. Would love to hear what the toilet bowl brush has to say. Her spin on this would be epic.
