I think there could be several answers here.
First off, that car didn't have a rear sway bar from the factory. That isn't an issue.
Rear tires being worn usually means one of two things on a Mustang:
1) Improper inflation - over inflation will wear down the middle sections faster.
2) Heavy foot - on a V6 if you see the passanger side wear faster, this is the problem. The open diff on the rear end of the V6 puts the power to that side, which causes heavier wear on that tire. Aggressive driving will wear down tires fast - especially all seaon or cheap tires on factory rims.

Bent frame or worn out control arm bushings. Worn out control arm bushings can throw the rear out of alignment and cause this issue as I suggested earlier. Stock control arm bushings are rubber and don’t last forever. With the age of your ride they are probably pretty well worn.
