I cant stress that point enough. I bought mine for $4000 and didnt know jack about jack of a mustang. i didnt think anything of that little hump under the liscense plate. Now I know that it is from the previous owner dumping it at high rpms on slicks at the track and the body was torqing on it. I doesnt hold an alignment for ****. I still love it, but just look over the car with a close eye. My friend had an '87 gt 5spd and I used to run z28's into the ground with it. it ws bone stock. That year is a speed density, unless it is a cali car, they had the mass air in 88. 89' and up have mass air everywhere else. Speed densities are harder to tune when mods are added, but make great power when tuned right. For the price and just what I can see from the pic, it doesnt seem to bad of a desl, I would just go over it closely. Good luck with it and I hope it turns out to be everything it should be.
