the Fi 5.0 is easier to turbo and find certain parts for.
good cars, i would rather have one of those than a mustang.

The price sounds pretty right to me, but you may want to try just listing that car on eBay, they didn't make nearly as many 5.0 Mercury Capris as they did Mustangs, I had one here last year that I was going to do the same with, and ended up selling it for 3 times what I paid for it and taking a low milage parts car that suited my purposes in trade.
The Capris have gained a following, I guess simply because their different. Too bad that one doesn't still have it's bubble hatch. They bring good money by themselves.
As far a whether to go fuel injection or carb, Fuel injection would be my only choice, regardless of the year of the vehicle.
Easy starts, plenty of speed parts available, and FI can be made emissions legal.
