www.foxmustangrestoration.com

www.Latemodelrestoration.com

www.Cjponyparts.com

and parts to look out for, tourqe boxes (where control arms mount to frame)

body rot
rusty doors, frame rust, cracked floorboards (usually where seats are bolted down)

hackjob reapirs, people trying to pass off 4banger conversions as original v8s

bad T-5 manuals

hackjob wiring...

and the typical used car stuff.... and most foxes are close to or over 100,000 miles these days

Go 94+

But if you go Fox, 90s and newer have an airbag,which probably isnt a bad thing for a new driver.

Did you know, they have the same steering wheel as my parents 95 Aerostar? LOL... thats a van BTW. So is it a Mustang steering wheel in a van, or a van steering wheel in a Mustang???[8D]

if you're going cheap...

any stock v8 mustang is gunna be fast enough for a 16 year old

sn-95 would be more reliable due to its improved over-all design and newer age

fox would be easier to work on and but usually requires daily repairs due to their age/abuse

I like the bra!

I would of liked mine if it would of fit right, but it didnt!

back on subject, honestly, i seriously think you will be happy with any decent looking fox, as long as it has exhaust.
