Mustang for a friend? A deal or not a deal?
A friend of mine found a 88 mustang 5.0L with a 5 speed. (100,000 miles) The owner claims it is a "police interceptor" which is "basically a cobra without the cobra intake, it has the bigger valves and everything. It has cobra symbols on it, and says 302 on the side.
I have not seen the car, but my friend says it has LT headers, and straight pipes from the headers directly to the mufflers, into dumps. It also is supposed to have a MSD ignition and a CAI.
So is there such a thing? I am thinking this is total bs. I am also thikning there is virtually no way to tell that this is a regular GT/LX motor without pulling it apart right?
He is asking 4k. Blue book says the value is like 1800. What do you think?

well...just because it was a police vehicle at one time doesn't mean that the owned hasn't changed the exhaust or taken out old wires that weren't used any more, but those are good suggestions none the less

blue book for stangs can pretty much be thrown out the window.. mine is 1800 blue book also and there is no way in hell i would sell it for less then 4.5k if at all. All the interceptor stangs i have seen were notchbacks and had a roll bar in the back seat. They also had holes drilled in the front bumper cover. as the wise Roundman said, CARFAX would be the ultimate way to really find out because you can make a 4 banger a Cobra if you buy all the emblems..
