You guys act like a 5.0 is a rare car. They made almost 1 million foxbody's from '87-'93. If that was my car I would throw a blower and a nice h/c/i combo on there and since it has 12k miles you know it will last a long time with a good tune.

Id honestly rather have that car with 112k than 12k. Cars are meant to be driven and stuff tends to dry rot and leak when they sit for extended periods of time.

My grandmother's car is a '93 with only 32k on it and lately stuff has been falling apart from not being driven enough. I just had to put a new battery and battery terminal in it yesterday. A few months ago one of the axle boots ripped open from dry rotting. Other stuff, mainly rubber hoses and lines have gone bad in the past few years as well.

Not being driven also stiffens the seals in the engine from not being lubricated and makes them prone to failure.
