88 gt

Seems to be a pretty good deal. You'll save a lot with all the mods that has already been done. Really listen to that motor to make sure it's running good. Lots of people claim "recent rebuild", but its hard to be sure. Also make sure you go through all of the gears to check for trans problems. As far as the "carb thing", I can say I like it more than EFI, but my 82 has a carb and I've had no problems with that at all. I'd still try to talk him down on the price a bit. Happy Shopping.

The carb is fine, I'd say the 600 is big enough and the double pumper model is also fine.

Just check it over and make sure it's running fine with good oil pressure and at least 130 psi cranking pressure in each cylinder.

i dont see why not. 600 is perfect for a stock 5.0, thats what i got

seems alright. but if its lowered 3'' in the front and 2'' in the rear, you will rub on EVERYTHING. i rub on every little speedbump i go over on my 87 now and it has stock springs. otherwise the car seems fine.

suprised im first to say this,
