Personally I'd stay away from the 96. That's the first year of the SOHC 4.6L and the T45. Especially the T45 wasn't the best in the first couple years. I know because I used to have one. Let alone the 96-97s have quite a few recalls so if you do get that car make sure you get the recalls done. Are you just wanting the newer body style over the Fox or what? If I were you I'd keep the Fox 5.0. Much more reliable, much cheaper parts, more aftermarket and much easier to work on. If you are wanting a 4.6 go to a 99 or newer. Better heads and better all around car. Now if you are wanting the newer body style of the 94-98 then get a 94-95 5.0 so you have the body style with the better drive train. That's my opinion. I know people like the early 4.6 cars but I will never own one again. I just had WAY too many problems with it and was a very low mileage car, too.
Also, so you know, the 96-97 was rated at 215 hp. Your 91 will wax that 96 especially with the few things that you've added to your car.
The $6500 is probably close to around "market" value for it. But I don't think it's worth that much. Then again, I wouldn't buy it at all unless it was cheap enough I could get it and part it out, lol.
