How is it going? Im new to the forum, iv'e been into muscle cars my whole life, particularly the foxbody.
I have owned 3 vehicles, my first was a 1985 GMC Sierra Classic 4x4 lifted on 38's, and after 4 years of owning that i decided i was looking for something new, so being hasty, traded that beautiful truck for a 1986 Nissan d21 pickup 4x4 5 speed. Which got great gas mileage and was fun because of the 5 speed, but ended up turning that into my toy. So now im at the point in my life where im about to buy a used foxbody for a dd, and im looking at this 1990 mustang lx 5 speed. And this is where my question begins, i talked the guy down to $3250, and honestly it's a nice car, interior/carpet is all clean, could use a paint job, but it's still a 20 footer. and the only thing that i find kind of sketchy is that the guy who is selling it didnt do the work to it, so im unnaware of the condition and mileage of the motor, but i did let it idle for about 5 minutes, shut it off, cranked right back up no preoblems, drove it down the road and back, and the clutch felt good, all 5 gears shifted smoothly and really drove nice. But the motor has a cobra upper and lower intake manifold, cold air intake, e303 cam, 24lb injectors and i think thats it. but here is a the ad on craigslist. and i guess my main question is if ya'll think i would be doing wrong to buy this car for 3250 as a dd?http://bham.craigslist.org/cto/3349490266.html
