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 Imagine the challenge of trying to sell the Ariya or the tired Leaf.
Offbeat Oddity I would have to test them out, but the Corolla might actually have a slight edge. I'd prefer the 2.0 in both cars, but to get one in a Civic with a decent amount of equipment, I'd be stuck with the Sport where the fuel economy suffers vs. the Corolla. If the Civic EX had a 2.0, it would be a much tougher decision.
User get rid of the four cylinders, technology is so advanced that a four litre V8 is possible.. and plausible.. cadillac had a serious problem detuning v8s in the past, now theyre over-revving the fours and it sounds horrible.. get rid of the bosses and put the engineers in the front seat..
BOF Not difficult: full-size body-on-frame sedan, V8, RWD, floaty land yachts. Unabashed comfort and presence. Big FWD Eldo too. While I’m at it, fix Buick much the same way just a little less ostentatious and include a large wagon w/3rd row.
Jeff I noticed the last few new vehicles I have bought a 2022 Maverick and 2013 CRV had very little new vehicle smell. My 2008 Isuzu I-370 the smell lasted for years but it never really bothered me. My first car a 73 Chevelle and been a smoker's car after a couple of months I managed to get rid of the smell by cleaning the inside thoroughly, putting an air freshener in it, and rolling the windows down on a hot day parking it in the sun. The cigarette smell disappeared completely never to come back. Also you can use an ozone machine and it will get rid of most odors.
