make sure you take it to a mechanic and at the very least have them run a compression test, and make sure you see the car on cold start up to make sure it's not burning any oil/smoking on a cold start.
I know its a new bullet he put in there, but stranger things have been known to happen

There should be plenty of decent-mileage 94-98 Mustangs for well under 6K now....
Either of those would leave plenty of room for small modifications, like a PI swap for a 4.6, or whatever those 5.0 guys do to their 'ancient' motors :-)

Yea I would buy it if I needed another car...the driveway already looks like a car lot, with the newest being an 06 Jeep I picked up for the wife at the beginning of the month. The insurance company loves me...

Scariest experience of my life hitting that guard rail. I was in shock for about a day. I was just looking around on ebay again and found a 1999 cobra with 36k on the clock for $11,000. Now im torn what to do.
