might i suggest trying to find a stock airbox for it. you need an air filter before your engine or your gonna send it to an early end. Interior does look good though.

ORIGINAL: fasfwd

ur gonna laugh but it has like 220k on it, but im not lieing it will break traction in 3rd!front end is outta alingment but thts no biggy, and i have a few pwr window and door problems(short some where) around here just lx bodies tht used to have 4 or 6 cyl in em bring $500 bucks or more, so i thought tht a runing 5.0 aniversrey car was worth $1500........i seen the pics of tht new lx ur gettin ITS FREAKIN IN PRISTINE CONDITION! u got a good deal on tht i thought.
Yeah I thought so too, BUT he called me tonight to inform me that he had sold it for 3500 bux! I was very dissappointed. But now I am looking at this

i say its worth it jsut cuz the interior is so nice... that is of course if it runs well... what u should do its strip down the engine bay then get the hole things painted w.e color u want since looks like hte front end needs paint and hte engine bay is pretty ruff too... replace you head lights and what nto too... all that stuff... u might want new rims.... then rebuild hte engine.... with all that rust id be afriad of what is rusting out... it iwll give u a piece of mind... plus u can mod it up when hte engien is out.. nice h/c/i... so all the engine work is like 3 grand and a lotta work.... then paint kinda depends... 3-5 is kinda resiable for a nice profecial job.... total ull spend mayb 8k ish.... but ull ahve a nearly new car for 9k if there isnt nethign wrong with the tranny.... u may think thats a lot but its not.... and if u like the silver pain just the front and engine bay its its really nasty and that will save u a lotta cash too

that rust on the subframe in front is not a good sign, i bought one for 1000 last year and didnt look at it to well, it had rust like that and it cracked and the strut tower came apart from the frame. the outside wasnt even rusty so i didnt look that hard into the car.

just a warning man not good to be driving down the road and have the strut tower split from the subframe

good find, definitely check that rust out though near the strut towers.... interior looks great in the pics. btw my stang has like 200k+ as well and still pulls like a dream.
