Used Ford Mustangs in New Jersey could look a lot like new NASCAR entrants

For NASCAR lovers looking for used Ford Mustangs, buying one now may enable them to try out their own pony cars before they appear in the Nationwide Series next season.

Several companies are considering entering their sports cars into designs that fit the standards of the recent “Car of Tomorrow” design update mandated by NASCAR, and that includes the Ford Mustang, according to Fox Sports.

Unlike some cars in the Sprint Cup series which may only share body work with their everyday namesakes, a NASCAR official told the news provider that the designs will probably look a lot more like production cars and the designs that are coming into his offices are “10-fold better than a Cup car.”

Those looking for used cars in New Jersey can get their hands on a Ford Mustang before their favorite drivers will be able to, however, if they check out similar-looking models from 2005, the first year of the Mustang’s new body style.

Edmunds.com editors said that the remake, which incorporated design features from the car’s heyday in the 1960s, was powerful with cabin controls that were improved over previous years.
