Hey everyone, I am new here and to the Mustang scene. I am an old chevy guy from H.S but have been out of hot rodding for about 10 years. I found a 1990 Mustang GT 5.0 convertible today I am thinking about buying. I wanted to get some opinions on what others thought.

The interior is extremely rough and will heve to be replaced. The engine seems to run ok but does not seem to have alot of power. It drives ok, doesn't pull to either side. Brakes feel good. The paint looks rough but the body seems ok. No major dents or dings. I did not see the convertible top cus it was down. It has a broken hinge pin so it couldn't be raised very easy. they claim the top is in good condition. The trans was an a.o.d. but I would probably scrap that anyway in favor of a 5 speed (how difficult would this be?). It will also need new rims and tires. The previous owner spun it out when she was drunk and busted the rim on a curb.

I am looking for something to buid up for the track. This would not be a daily driver.

The asking price on this is $1600. Should I jump on this deal or pass it up?
