Nice car. I would also check cruising rpms to double check that there are, indeed, 3:73 gears in it too.
It should have a pretty lobey idle for it having an "X" cam. The power range for that cam doesn't come in until higher in the rpm range(~3500-6500rpms).
The price seems fair. How many miles does it have?
Check the floor boards and hatch area for rust. That's the problem areas for rust on mustangs.
Good luck. I hope it all works out for you.
Let us know if you get it or not.
