1974 Ford Mustang II Drag Car Joins DFW Car & Toy Museum's Legendary Collection

The 1974 Ford Mustang II Drag Car, a legendary piece of American drag racing history, has found a new home in the Ron Sturgeon Collection at the DFW Car & Toy Museum. This car, originally built for speed with a 468ci Chevrolet big-block V8, is a testament to the raw power and unbridled energy of the 1970s and 1980s drag racing scene. With its Holley 1050 CFM carburetor, Edelbrock intake manifold, and other high-performance features, the Mustang was a force to be reckoned with on the drag strips. Its exterior, still adorned with its original 1980s-era white and orange livery and sponsor graphics, serves as a visual time capsule from racing's golden age. Ron Sturgeon, the founder of the DFW Car & Toy Museum, praises the car as not just loud but legendary, embodying the grit and power of its era.

The DFW Car & Toy Museum, now located in North Fort Worth, offers car and toy enthusiasts a unique experience with its vast collection and facilities. The museum, which started as a passion project by Sturgeon in the 1980s, has grown into a significant attraction, offering free admission and parking, and is dog-friendly. It also provides secure climate-controlled car storage and event facilities, making it a hub for car clubs and meetings. The museum's website, DFW Elite Toy Museum, remains a valuable resource for enthusiasts worldwide.
