Hello all. I am new to the board and relatively new to Mustang as well. When I was 17 I had an 85 vert for a while. Now am 31 and looking to buy. I found a great potential 1998 GT and I am going to scope it tomorrow. What should I look for specifically with this car. I am fairly tech savvy but no mechanic. I am bringing a friend with me who is though.

Welcome. I always look to see what has been messed with. What aftermarket parts are installed. And overall condition. Look for smoke from the pipes, oil leaking, and how well does it shift (auto or manual) and any strange drivetrain noises.

Only mods to the car are exhaust, wheels and cobra hood. Everything else is bone stock.
