Default Could use some help

Hey guys, ive had a 95v6 stang AT for about 2 years now and have been looking into selling it for a 1987 Gt. (Something faster, and more fun to drive.)Ihave about 68k miles on it as of now. I have a cold air Intake and 40's Flows on it.Do you think this is wise to go for it ? I have come across a 87gt that had just gotten a Re-built motor and such andI plan on going down and checking it out, but would still like your opinions on if i should let go of what i have now. Thanks to all.

Would things start to die out on the car since its older even though it has a rebuilt engine? Or should i be ok, iam asking this because ive never delt with a older car, but have always wanted one and am trying to do as much research as possible

You might have a few items stop working on you, it all depends on how well the car was maintained.I have an 87 GT that I got about six months ago and it has not given me any trouble. I would go for the 87 in a heart beat, just hold on the first few times when you hit the go fast pedal. World of difference.

Alright so i found a 1990 gt For sale in my local area. He wants 4k for it but will come down. It has 130k on the car but everything else it fine. New twin hood, exhuast, seals , lights, rear and front bumpers New cobra rims and all new tires.. I was just wondering how many miles these cars run for, OR if i should get it and switch out the motor ( if you have a est on how much it would cost to switch in a new one,i know it verysbut just a roundabout)Now i probably wouldent be able to do it right away but none the less would still like to know if its worth getting. Thanks.
