Default Should I get a Mustang?!

So I found an 83' mustang w/ a 306 and has some bolt ons. I heard a sound clip on youtube sounds good. It is carbed and looks ok. I am prob going to trade my not running 96' eclipse GST for it. We are asking about the same for our cars. Is there anythingI should look for or should I get some with better mileage. It has 4:10 gears so the mileage will probably suck. thanks

Check it for rust, under the hatch, doors, under the car itself, all over.
