turbo or supercharger is quite a bit of money...i dont know if its ever "a few months in"...if those are your only 2 choices i'd go with the sn95 cause its a bit younger and probably more reliable...if i were you and wanted to go old school on a mustang i'd go find a 69 fastback and make it a project car

you need a 67/68 fastback to make an elenor.

Fox bodies have rust issues around the botton of the doors and rear quarter panel area. SN95s have a better ride and interior will last longer than the fox.

There is alot of nice SN95's out there for sale and in good shape. Its like venom said, no body likes rust not even a bodyman. A good sound body is a must have for any project unless you know a good bodyman that works for beer. If you need it as a DD go with the newer stuff and make payments. Aint that the American Way?

i'd love to get an sn with a 5.0. i thought about doing that and keeping the new edge as a nicer car and the sn as a drag car. but the snow here kills that idea.

2 years i think, 94-95 cause we got the non PI 4.6 in 96 and the sn95 started in 94.
