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.

Daniel J I generally love colors outside of the normal white, black, or silver. The biggest issue we've had is Mazda tends not to put the colors we want with the trim or interior we want.
Daniel J If you believe what Elon says, he said on X that the plan is expand at current locations and make sure that the current chargers are being maintained. Like I said on the previous thread on this, they probably looked at the numbers and realized that new chargers in new places aren't cost effective.
Daniel J How is this different than a fully lifted truck? I see trucks rolling off the lot with the back lifted already, and then folks get the front lifted to match. Are there specific "metrics" at how high they can and can't be? The example shown has the truck's front lifted more than normal, but I've seen these around here where the backend is dropped and the front end is at a regular height.
Theflyersfan I think color is FINALLY starting to return to car lots. After what seems like over a lost decade of nothing but shades of gray, whites, and black, I'm seeing a lot more reds and blues creeping into luxury car lots. Except Audi and Volvo. They still have at least 6-8 shades of gray/silver. But they at least have a nice green. Honda and Acura seem to have a bunch of new colors. And all carmakers need to take a serious look at the shades of red seen at the Alfa Romeo lot and tell themselves they want that because that looks amazing.
Bd2 Well, it's no Sonata, nor does it have the panache of the Optima.
