Hey guys, Im thinking about picking up this 87 GT.. I have had a few mustangs so far but none this style, all have been newer.
Im trying to figure out if this is a good deal on this car or not, and if there is anything I should look for when i go check it out. I got him down to thinking about 4500 from 8000 asking price.
Let me know what you guys think!!

has pulled around 520something horsepower TO THE REAR WHEELS but it was on street tires and not strapped tight and spun tires. it was only to insure it was safe though as i had just done alot of work to it after the tune, so an exact number is not known and not really important. it trapped 127mph a few seasons ago when a few valves were burnt up, so it should be an easy 10 sec car. has been 11.30 or something i forget. has a very safe tune, with a SCT chip. i think it was 11.6 or so to 1.
anyway, sorry thats so long just wanted to be complete. its a fun and fast car, and looks fine from an isle away at a parking lot, its not like its a piece of ****. but it doesnt have fresh paint either.
would come w/ all the wheels i have for it. 15x3 draglites with 165r15 radials (next to new, maybe 100 miles), 15x10 draglites w/ 28x11.50 mt et drags(about 10 passes on them, none were even hard full passes though), 5 spoke asa wheels w/ shot kuhmos that it sits on the street w/.
asking 8000 but am OPEN TO OFFERS. there is WAYYYY more in this car than that and its all next to new, although years old, as it has no miles on it really. I never drive it, race it, or even cruise in it anymore. I want it gone so I can get a daily driver and mess with my jeep more. Let anyone know who you know would want it.
