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.

SCE to AUX At least with direct sales, there's one less party to point fingers about pricing.
Wjtinfwb Malibu will be the Ford Panther of this decade. We won't miss it until its gone. GM will tell you there's no market for sedans anymore. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, VW, Audi and others will challenge you on that. GM gave up on Malibu as soon as it was introduced in 2017, no development, only de-contenting and relegation to "Fleet" status. I've had a lot of Malibu rentals, they were fine. Not as nice as an Accord or Camry, but preferable to an Altima, Sentra, Sonata or Jetta in my mind. A little development in the powertrain, refinement of the suspension and clean up on the styling would have done wonders. But that's not the GM way. Replace it with something else equally mediocre or worse but charge more because it sits higher. It's a shame GM has been relegated to such a back of the class manufacturer when spectacular cars like the C8 Corvette show what they can do when someone really gives a damn.
SCE to AUX This has been a topic for at least four decades.In a world filled with carcinogens, you'd need an enormous study to isolate the effects of seat foam compared to every other exposure we have.Besides, do people really drive around without any fresh air purging the cabin?
Rna65689660 This is NOT new information. They’ve known this for decades.
Wjtinfwb Had an E38, loved it dearly. I thought nothing could make me love the subsequent "Bangle" 7 series, but this latest version did. Apparently the psychotic drug epidemic plaguing North America has made its way to Munich and filtered into the design studios. This car is just grotesque.
