what do you want the car for? If you want a daily driver go with the 96.

If you want a weekend drag racer go with the fox body.

I realy wish I didetn see the pic of that 96....

I have a 96 mustang, But it has a v6. Needs a hood, paint, general TLC, I have done alot to it.. .But its not there yet.

Only issue is that the title is no good for some reason that I found out after I bought it for dirt cheep. No, its not stolen. checked into all that. But no point in fixing up a car that you cant register.
