My Classic Roadster is a '92. I have been very happy with it. The only drawback that I can see with a Classic is that it has a longer wheelbase than the original. Some purists frown on it not being "authentic". The original had a 90" wheelbase and the Classic is 94". This can be an advantage if you are tall.

Rather than worry about the quality of any one kit over the other because most kits are good quality, I would worry about the components used in the car that you are looking at, whichever kit it is.

For example, does the car have "donor car" components? In other words, did the builder just take parts from a used Mustang and transfer them into the car, or does it have a "built" motor. What about suspension parts , wiring harness, etc. These are the things that affect the quality and price of a car not necessarily which kit it is. Having said that, there are some high end kits (eg. Kirkham, Shelby) that are great quality but are pricey (sp).
