A few years ago, the now-late Ken Block modified a 1990 Ford Mustang GT to teach his daughter, Lia, how to drift, a car that also payed homage to perhaps the most famous Fox Body ever – the one that’s still owned by Vanilla Ice that starred in his video for the hit song Ice, Ice, Baby. After Block tragically passed away in early 2023, that same Ford Mustang popped up for auction, but failed to sell after achieving a high bid of $23,000, only to resurface for sale last October – and now, once again, roughly 10 months later.
When we last saw Block’s 1990 Ford Mustang GT, it hammered for a mere $21,000 at auction, and now, it seems as if the latest owner is looking to part ways with the distinctive drop top, too, as it’s once again up for auction – this time, at Hagerty. There, it’s being sold yet again with no reserve, and the buyer’s premium will be donated to 43 Institute, the charitable organization founded in Ken Block’s honor that aims to help folks looking to break into the business themselves.
On the outside, Block’s pony car has been modified with an aftermarket mesh front grille and rear spoiler, a Hoonigan badge and windshield banner, and a set of 18-inch Rotiform LSR wheels, but as one might imagine, the mods here go far more than skin deep. Suspension-wise, the drift machine utilizes Maximum Motorsports subframe connectors, a rear sway bar, lower control arms, rear torque arm, caster/camber plates, and coilovers, along with Cobra brakes and SN95 Mustang steering knuckles.
Inside the cabin, this Fox Body features a set of Recaro seats with Mastercraft harnesses, a rear seat delete, a four-point roll bar, a Hoonigan hand brake, Holley EFI digital dash display, and a Holley Terminator touchscreen, coupled with the typical wear one would expect to see from a well-used drift machine.
Performance-wise, the original 5.0L V8 under this Mustang’s hood has been treated to upgrades including a BBK cold-air intake, a nitrous system, and a Holley Terminator electronic fuel injection setup, coupled with a Borla exhaust.
