Question 88 mustang with retarded front clip

hi, i hope im asking this in the right spot.

i just recently purchased a 88 mustang with a 50 5 speed. i love the power of this thing i just dont like the looks. it has the double headlight front end but its a 88 mustang. the guy i got it from told me it made it worth more but i dont think thats posible. is this true or is he a complete idiot?

youll probably have to get a different header panel and a hood but fenders should work i think.
