Default Which Mustang should I put the money into?

I have $2000.00 dollars to put into one of my cars. My dilema is, which car should I put it into? The 1965 6 cyl? The car has brand new interior, but needs fenders, rear quarters, bumpers, and a few more cosmetics. I would eventually like to put a 302 in it. I would also like to redo the suspension and put some wheels on it. Okay, my other car is a 1995 GT 5.0.
I've got a flow master exaust and some Bullitt wheels. I have nothing done to the motor. I want more speed, but I would also like a good looking classic. Does anyone have any ideas?

well if you want something with power the 95 5.0L is the way to go, If ya just want the classic ride to cruzin, then go for the 65 stang, Older Stang would be easier to work on, I still make some awsome hp outta it,

I'm always a sucker for a classic, I'd fix up the 65, depends on whether you want more power right now, if that's the case go with the 95, just don't let the old one rot away.

95's are worthess...id put it into the 65 cause in the longrun, fixing it up could make you money, or at least let you break even.

BULL ****!You make this claim based on what?

The 95 still is a 5.0 and capable of everything the other 5.0s are except theyre a little heavier.

I say keep the 65 off in the back and slowly but surely build it up and go ahead with the 95's boltons and VFAST has it itemized for you and from what i seen you would have a pretty serious performer on your hands.

My vote is the 95 for right now.

And please senorJ explain how you can make these claims i would love to hear some facts to back it up.
