Default Which mustang should I buy?

Ok My first choice is a limited edition 87 mustang Maclaren. Its a V8 and is automatic.
I currently have 2000$ to buy a car...and then use my job to buy the rest of whatever i need.

It will sell for about 1500$ The interior is pretty bad..the seats are ripped and the back part of the top is messed up. its been sitting there for a year, but its a really rare car and has a nice body kit. its like number 387 out of 500
I would have to fix this one up total cost in the long run would be $3500+

The Second choice is a 93 convertible in much better condition. No rips, but it is an ugly green color. the only thing I dislike about it is that its a 4 cylinder. Its not a limited edition one either. Its automatic. total price in the long run would be 3000+

with the convertibles I can save up money and gradually add onto it. I'm going to switch it to manual and put a v8 into the second one if i get that. My cousin's b/f is a big mustang kinda person and he is a mechanic/painter. so he's going to paint the car for me and hes pretty good i saw this one car he did it was the color of the 07 blue cobras.

The third one I would have to save up for like 4000$. It was originally a race car....but his friend took everything out so hes totally redoing it. Hes painting it really really well. Its going to have a v8 and be manual. It has racing stuff in it. and its a coupe. I think its like a 90-93

sorry, i don't really know much about cars. But I'm 17 and I'm not looking for a race car. I would just like some power when I need it, but I still want it to look/sound nice.

work on the limited edition one. youll be happier in the long run. 93 is just not that appealing to myself, and it doesnt seem like your to appeased either, and the race car. sorry but im just not a fox body person.lol. my vote is the limited edittion one.

id go with the one that is least modified, and the one you have to do the least work on. if you are not a mechanic then dont buy something your going to need a mechanic to work on. you dont want a car that you are constantly fixing, you will never enjoy it and end up regreting buying that one. so take your time, theres aton ofmustangs out there.

p.s. convertables suck for the older ones, i had an 87 convertable, always loud and wistling, and expensive to replace,unless you are in love with the rag top i dont recomend it.
