Default what to buy??

I am currently looking at two differnt mustangs. The first one is a 99' cobra with 95,000 miles for $11,000. The second is a 93' fox body with 5.0 HO motor in it. it has a mac cold air, over drive pulleys headers. and flowmasters with only 77,000 miles on it for $5,000 which is a better buy?? Both cars run well..

Go for the fox body, its cheaper, has less miles and looks better IMO

I would get the fox, And the money I have left over I would just invest that in some suspension upgrades
and minor bolt ons. If you were gonna spend $11,000 on the 99, You just saved $6,000 for mods on your fox body.
Just my 2 cents !!

P.s

Parts for a fox body would definetly be cheaper, You would catch that cobra in no time !!

I agree with everyone else; foxbody + 6,000 can pay for a rebuild, and alot of performance... so you could have 0 miles and more performance =)

Go with the 93.
I love those Cobras but this is a 5.0 section we are going to be little biased.
