This is just a curiostity thing as these cars may not be avaliable in a month.
I am moving and selling my Cobra. I am in fine financial shape and will have my Mark VIII for DD duties. Since I will be living in AZ A/C is a must. I have set a budget of 10k max for a Mustang toy. I love foxes and am really the most comfertable in them but I also love aero Cobras and 4V engines are my most favorite engine.

So all things being equal, which would you choose? The Foxes are both around 7K and the red one is a one owner with 42,000 original miles and all the window stickers.
The Cobra is a hair more but damn is it clean!

And if you know Cobras you know these are the best engine builders in the plant

Yeah, it would get H/C/I at some point and five lug conversion would be mandatory. Its just so clean and solid, it would be nice to start with such a clean example.

Big NO on the Cobra imo. It's just another Cobra.

I'm not a fan of GTs at all but I really like the gray on that first one. I think with the right choice of wheels that would be a really good looking car. The engine bay doesn't look quite as clean as the outside so I would get underneath it and really give it a good look over. If it's clean that would be my choice by a long shot.

my vote goes to the 92 GT. Looks like a clean fox and already has some mods.

Like I pointed out to Laser before, that '92 seems fishy to me because it claims to have super-low mileage ... and yet they found it necessary to pull the stock motor and put in another at only 34k miles? Either the owner is a moron who blew the thing up ragging on it big time or something, or the guy just didn't know the value of a stock low-mileage Fox. If the car had 134k, then yeah, it would make sense, but pulling a 302 out of a car with only 34k on it (well, actually only 25k at the time they pulled it, since it's listed as being 9k ago) and putting in another 302 just seems damned silly to me.

I vote Cobra.

'92 GT. Very clean and already has a few goodies. Nothing against the Ponies but that baby is screaming for a new set of wheels.
