Default Couple questions.

I'm looking to get back into a stang, my first car was a 4.6l v8 Mustang GT. I loved the car then sold it for a dub. Now im dying to get back into another and i figured why not jump into a 5.0 fox body. Now i need to learn a few things before i go out and buy one. Any tips on what to look for?

look for clean ones that have no rust. thats the majors, check the rear wheel wells and the hatch inside and out, those are usually problem area's.
then just try and find one that wasn't abused so if possible find a stocker.

one with no rust and hasn't had parts removed from engine bay that were factory such as emissions stuff and one that hasn't had wiring cut up ...this way you won't have to figure out someone elses prob and become your nightmare
