Question What would you pay for this 87 gt I'm looking at?

Hey guys I've found another foxbody that caught my attention and I want your opinion on it. It's a 87 gt 5.0 5 speed The guy sent me this, "i have done a stedda cable clutch, heater core. I bought the car how it was about a year ago it's a cobra motor cams been done lifters & rockers headers flow master exshaust no cats. T5 tranny I believe 3:73 gears in the rear posi. Honestly the car is very fast. The car needs strut tower repair drivers side and now the fuel pump doesn't work after I installed the heater core I must of knocked a wire off or touching a wire. But I'm really done fixing it I have no time to fix it and I don't need a car with that much power I'm not young anymore so I figure $1400 quick sale get it out of my driveway before I move."
What do you think it's worth?

Maybe pass on it. These cars can take a beating (and can be repaired for the most part), but strut tower damage is something worth walking away from. Here's some quick tips : buying a foxbody mustang

On another note, not sure how doing the heater core affects the fuel pump.
If you really want it bad, no more than $1000. I would use it as a parts car and transfer the motor/trans and such into a cleaner roller. Otherwise you'll sink a ton of money fixing it up, and still it may not be salvageable.

Honestly, he is about $1,100.00 too high on his price. That one would be a money pit.
