Default Looking to get a mustang

Hi,
Im 16 and want to go fast.lol. I currently drive an 89 f250 351 5 speed. I have been looking to get a mustang because I love working on cars and making things faster, and mustangs look awesome and have an endless aftermarket. So ive been looking for a 5.0 around the 2500 range, when i came across an 88 gt. The guy says he will take 1600, clear title, has the body parts but they are not on the car. extra tires, rebuilt engine yada yada.

Pictures




He says the car runs and drives good, shifts great. Its a pretty good drive to go get it, and i would have to take the trailer, so i want to make sure its a good buy before i go for it.
What do you guys think? what should i look for?
Thanks
JAcob

I'd offer him about $400 for that pile. If he says no, go find something better for your money.

How does it drive good if it has flat tires? I say don't get it, save a bit more and get something a little more reliable.

He says he has put new tires on it since then, so i duno. Im still waiting on pics of the "extras". I think im going to off him low, if not save some more $$ for a better car.

Good call on going cheaper, you may could have got him cheaper unless hes done something to it other than its appearance in the pics..
