That's one nice ride man, congrats.
I noticed you installed dual exhaust, did you relocate the flex brake line on the rear end?

Looks pretty clean, bet the asking price would have been double if it were an 8.

Clifford has (used to anyway) some stuff to hot the 200 up a bit if you like.

Everyone at school thought my 250ci 64.5 (swapped a 250 for the 170) was an 8 due to the clifford headers and duals. It was a long time ago though.

I'd say you made a good buy if its anything like as clean as it looks.

Congrats.

Excellent deal!!! Real tough finding a straight, non-rusted mustang yp in the northeast. I would almost consider it a steal (even though its a six, but you can convert someday like I did )

Hell ya it's a good deal. Look around at the used car lots. All you'll find for $5K is 10-15 year old cars with 40,000 miles or 5 year old ones with 90,000.

Funny, someone took a picture of your car while doing a photo tour of Brooklyn. I noticed it after looking at your pictures the other day.
