I like the 66 fastback. You might be able to find a a/c cobra!!! A kit car that is.

if yer buying to get into racing, go with the 94. it'll be cheaper to mod.

if, however, you're buying mainly for a nice ride - try getting yourself into a 99 cobra. you could mod it later, but at least you'd have a really nice ride.

96' Cobra would be my choice. Supercharger or a TT Kit from HP Performance. Long tubes (If you go SC), exhaust, suspension mods and tires and if you find a good deal on a used Tremec there you go. 11s all day.

I own the 94-95 5.0. It isn't that great. 4.6L DOHC 4ver will own a 5.0 anyday. Simple as that.
