Default Need some opinions please

So I have a 99 Gt and was planning on modifying but considering it has to be very reliable and last, my dad found a 1987 Mustang Gt that he wants me to buy and mess withit for like a weekend car. The 87 has a cam (probably like a B303), long tubes, O/R x-pipe into flows dumped, shift kit, cold air intake, underdrive pulleys, 8mm plugs,electric fan, MSD ignition, new paint job, New interior, all new audio with 2 twelves, and 4.10's waiting to be installed. Only 60k, and he wants like 3500 cash. I already saw it and checked it out and its a really nice car. But for like 4000 I could supercharge my 99. So what would you guys do? Also would my 99 Gt supercharged be more reliable than the 87? Thanks for the help!

My goal is too have a fast car lol. But I think the 5.0 has more potential. I can just use my 99 and a daily driver and a look nice car.

If you want a fast car...PLEASE don't put the big 12" woofers in there. The sound of a loping cam far outweighs a thumping stereo.

Lol yea im going to yank the twelves out and sell them or something. The more I think about it, the more I miss my old Fox mustang. I think im going to go with the fox, put a mean suspension on it and put about 80 more horsepower in it. It aught to be pretty satisfying after that lol. Does anyone know how much the B cam adds roughly?
