Default Considering this mustang....what do you think? I need advice!

I have been looking for a gt to play with....something I can use as a daily driver and get to the track and have a 13sec car.

This is what I am considering.....he is asking 3500 or best offer.
3.73 rear gears, newer cobra spec t-5 (converted from AOD 2 years ago), 1 yr on king cobra clutch, new clutch cable, pro5.0 shifter, aluminum driveshaft, mac shorty headers, custom cat bak w/ high flow cats, solid upper and lower control arms, new water pump, newer 225/50/16 tires on nice pony rims, trick flow street heat upper and lower intake, newer 3 core radiator, 130 amp alternator upgrade, 1.6 roller rockers, mass air conversion with 73mm mass air and throttle body, new harmonic balancer, twin turbo fiberglass hood, nice grey interior, water temp and oi pressure pillar gauges. it has small issues being a 20 year old car. it has solid motor mounts which without the rubber, makes a vibration while driving, has a small power steering leak which it has always had, uses about a small bottle of fluid every 2 months or so, and has the common issue of needing a 3-1 shift while sitting and does not downshift into first while driving. it was repainted about 5 years ago and only has some rock chips and normal on the hood. also includes extra parts... new double roller timing chain, quarter window molding covers, extra headlights and corner markers, warlbro fuel pump, float and sender assy, new felpro exhaust gaskets and unused intake gaskets. i have had this car for 12 years, i am the second owner. 30k on engine rebuild and about 130k on the car.

I'm going to go ahead and just say what everybody will say, pics or GTFO.

Sounds cool for the price though considering all the mods...

You can prob get it for 3K or lower with cash in hand. It sounds pretty decent with the normal issues. Post some pictures

Doesn't sound bad, look in the common rust spots first.
