years of racing in the various lower NASCAR tier levels, Ford
Performance Technical Center (FPTC) out of Concord, North Carolina
made the move to the NASCAR Cup Series by introducing a NASCAR Cup
Series version of the Ford Mustang in 2019. The Next Gen Cup cars
introduced in 2013 allowed the manufacturers to pattern the cars to
closely resemble production vehicles and more closely maintain the
age-old NASCAR adage of Win on Sunday and Sell Monday! Of course,
these cars share very little with their production versions. The
Gen-6 cars, like this one, are all steel bodied cars, as opposed to
the Gen-7 cars that incorporated carbon fiber panels. Featured here
for sale is a 2020 Stewart Haas Racing Cup series Mustang. As a
backup car, this vehicle has never been raced and is in very good
condition. The car is still wearing the 2020 season livery, which
is black in color with Mobil logos, Ford, Mustang script, and a few
other sponsors. Maybe not in NASCAR, but this car is still very
much ready to earn the pole position, perhaps in an SVRA event.
Without question, the Mustang most represents the look of the
production counterpart, compared to the Chevrolet and Toyota race
versions. Under the steel sheet metal is a purpose-built race car
designed and built by the FPTC. The Gen-6 cars feature fully
proportional bodies that are bolted straight on the chassis.
Putting the focus on the chassis, tires, and the driver make these
cars bulkier, faster, and tougher putting a little more of the
stock back into stock car racing similar to the early days of
NASCAR. Under the hood sits a 358ci pushrod V8 and features a wet
sump oil pickup and a true dual exhaust. This setup produces 741HP
(550 on restrictor plate tracks). Power passes through a Rankin
4-speed manual transmission with straight-cut gears to a Ford 9
rear end with 3:22 gears. The rear end features a single-pass
cooler to keep the differential lubricants cool, and avoid any
power-robbing heat from stealing horsepower before it hits the
track. Like the production Mustangs of the time, this Ford has
four-wheel disc brakes, and rack and pinion steering. That is where
the similarities end between production and the race-designed and
built race car, as the chassis and roll cage are purpose-built for
the various NASCAR Circuits. This leaves little flexibility for
teams to interpret the rules. Penske shocks keep the massive
Goodyear Eagle racing tires firmly planted to the paved oval
tracks. This is an amazing collector car commemorating Harvick's
2021 season. While Harvick was unable to finish in first place in
2021, he scored three top-10 finishes on super speedways ranking
him number 5 in the series. With a total of 2361 points, this car
helps signify a successful 2021 season. Please call if interested
or e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
