Question Which one should I get???!!!

I am looking at 2 different mustangs but I dont know which one to get. I am going to be using it to be an every day driver and drag race on the weekends but then slowly start building it in to a prostreet. Here is the ads........

Well, I will say with the 90' LX he said the car used to be a 4cyl and it was converted to a 5.0, so the VIN will probably read for a 4 cyl. That will save you some money on insurance. =]
