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.
