1987 Foxbody drag car
Name: Jeff
Location: Chesapeake
Means of contact: PM
Price: $16k obo
Description: 1987 foxbody, 408ci stroker, Windsor iron block, Aluminum heads, rocker arms and crank are girdled ( professionally built by John Brey out of Chesapeake), Jerico 4 speed, vertigate Long shifter, Mcloud adj clutch, 4:30 gears, spool, 5 lug Moser, Wilwood draglite brakes, c-clip eliminators, anti roll bar, cage/ motor plate ( Matt Wirt at Racefab) BG fuel systen, 5 gallon fuel cell. 9.90's in the 1/4, 6.40's in the 1/8, 1.20's 60 ft. It will dead hook, pull the tires in first, it has stood on the rear bumper and sometimes will pull in second gear. The car is a handful to drive and not what I'd consider a "beginners car".
Trades?... it would have to be 4x4 with a Cummins or 7.3 and on 38's +
I don't need to sell it, but it has sat long enough. I just don't have the free time to go to the track and enjoy it. My grandfather and I built it, he's gets around to slow to go to the track any more. My grandfather bought the car brand new in 1987 so I know it's entire history.

Re: 1987 Foxbody drag car
Thanks. It's going to take the right buyer to want a clutch car which is probably why I still have it. If it was an auto w/ trans brake it would probably sell faster. Having a two step hooked to the clutch and banging gears is way more fun than an auto...
If this sells, the C5 is next on the market then shopping C6Z's....

Re: 1987 Foxbody drag car
I'll open trades up to Ford and Dodge dually, stock ride height ok, 4x4 is better but I'll entertain a two wheel drive dually as well. The right Z71 Tahoe, Surburban and Yukon would peak my interest too.
