HIGHLIGHTS: -Tom Dugan custom build! -Street-legal road race
warrior! -Nankang AR-1 tires! -Cobra R wheels! This 1990 Ford
Mustang is a legendary piece of Fox-body history, standing as the
documented personal car, former shop test vehicle, and personal
build of Tom Dugan, the founder of Dugan Racing. Born as a standard
GT, it was completely transformed into a street-legal road-race
monster by one of the most respected names in the business. The
current owner purchased this black-on-black notchback coupe
directly from Tom, making them the first post-Dugan owner of a car
that represents a period-correct snapshot of era-defining
craftsmanship. Accompanied by full documentation, prior title
records, and Tom Dugan's signature under the hood, this machine is
a turn-key, road-course-ready artifact that drives with a tight,
composed precision few Fox-bodies could ever hope to replicate.
BODY OVERVIEW: The exterior of this Mustang has been aggressively
re-engineered for the track while retaining its street legality. It
wears an original Dugan Racing hood and the signature Dugan Racing
rear spoiler, components that are a rare find today. The body lines
have been enhanced with Capri front fenders and flared Capri rear
quarter panels, giving it a wide, purposeful stance sitting on Ford
Motorsport Cobra R wheels. Beneath the skin, the level of
craftsmanship is staggering, featuring extensive chassis
reinforcement spanning the floor, underbody, and trunk structure to
create a remarkably tight, solid, and composed platform.
Additionally, the door handles and exterior hardware remain in
excellent condition. Although it started life as a GT, it was
customized into a "notchback" for a truly custom look. Buyers
should note that as a purpose-built racecar, the fit and finish is
good, but not flawless. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Finished in a
sleek and sinister gloss black, the paint presents very nicely for
a vehicle that has spent its life serving as both a shop
development tool and a high-performance personal toy. Because it
was built by a professional to be driven hard on road courses
rather than coddled in an indoor plastic bubble, the finish
displays minor signs of road use that reflect its authentic
performance heritage. It holds a commanding shine that accentuates
the custom widebody lines and looks menacing under any lighting,
especially when paired with the modern, fully functional LED
headlights that update the front fascia. This is a good paint job,
and it shows well, however this was a purpose-built racecar, not a
show car, so imperfections are to be expected. INTERIOR CONDITION
OVERVIEW: Inside, the Mustang features a complete, remarkably
well-preserved black interior that defies the stripped-out race car
stereotype. The cockpit safely isolates you inside a full
integrated roll cage while allowing you to retain factory
conveniences like power windows, power mirrors, and properly
functioning windshield wipers. It has a premium 320mm Momo Monte
Carlo steering wheel, providing razor-sharp feedback from the
track-oriented setup. Pop the hood, and the interior theme is
validated by Tom Dugan's personal signature proudly preserved on
the underside, acting as an undeniable certificate of authenticity.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Powering this lightweight coupe is a 306
cubic-inch small-block Ford V8 breathing through a sought-after
GT40 intake manifold and matching GT40 cylinder heads. The spark is
managed by a reliable MSD 6AL ignition system, and fuel delivery is
handled by an upgraded external fuel pump system. Power is routed
through an adjustable clutch quadrant to a ProMotion-built
straight-cut T45 manual transmission that was personally installed
by Dugan Racing, offering that raw, mechanical gear whine true
racers love. The car corners on a full coil-over suspension with a
road-course-oriented setup, rides on ultra-sticky Nankang AR-1
tires, and stops beautifully courtesy of a heavy-duty Baer brake
system. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: You will love the
unmatched provenance and the immediate rock-solid feel that sets
this Fox-body miles apart from its modern or vintage peers. Thanks
to Tom Dugan's extensive structural work, the traditional chassis
flex common to these cars has been completely eliminated. It is a
dual-purpose weapon that lets you dominate a weekend track day and
then legally drive it home through traffic with power steering and
fully functioning safety lights, all while sitting in a piece of
automotive history that is signed by the master himself. WHAT YOU
MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you are looking for a quiet, cushy
cruiser to take on relaxed Sunday cruises, the aggressive
road-course suspension and the raw, race-car whine of the
straight-cut ProMotion transmission will likely wear out your
patience. The integrated roll cage requires a bit of flexibility to
climb over every time you get in, reminding you constantly that
this car prefers a helmet over a ball cap. It is loud, stiff, and
unapologetically fast-which is a nightmare for a commuter, but a
dream for an enthusiast! DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? This Mustang is a
turn-key, road-ready missile that requires nothing but a full tank
of high-octane fuel and an open track. The headlights, brake
lights, turn signals, and marker lights are functioning as
expected, and it can simply be driven like any other car-no
complicated start-up procedure required. The Nankang AR-1 tires
mean your grip is maximized from day one, leaving the next owner
with absolutely no immediate projects other than deciding which
corner to attack first! Buyers should note that the A/C and heat
are not currently working. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This
vehicle is destined for the serious Fox-body collector, track day
enthusiast, or vintage racer who understands the significance of
the Dugan Racing name. It appeals directly to the buyer who wants a
unique, period-correct street-legal race car built by an industry
authority, rather than a piecemeal project car built in a backyard.
If you value structural rigidity, proven mechanical pedigree, and
the bragging rights of owning Tom Dugan's personal masterpiece,
this black notchback belongs in your stable! Contact Rare Rides
