Negatives:
-ripped top (along the passenger side door)
-3/4 of an '87-'93 GT body kit that doesnt look right with the '83 nose
-holes in rear bumper for exhaust
-cobbed mess of wires on the right side of the radiator support
-hood doesnt seem to fit right and isnt painted
-rearend leaks (simple fix though)
-mismatched taillights

ohk why so much hostility to the 7.5 jeeze I still got one under my 82 and gets the monthly burnout and it still holds up great. and 2 diff tailights and the bad fitting of the gt body on it, id look for a newer one for a better deal because that one looks like project car at best.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm not really sure how much money I would end up spending getting this thing back to good condition so unless he wants to give me like a grand, as well as the trade I'm not gonna do it. I wasnt looking for a mustang in particular, it was just something that came up and I wanted to know if it was going to be a good trade or not. It sure would be a fun project though...if it wasnt 3300.
