The list I would do in order I guess is what you can afford to do to it,once you get it,the list of things that are free and up too about 500 dollars in one pop,this is not fact just opinion on what to do first:

Bump the timing 12-14 degrees depending on the gas in your area
K&N air filter
Shorty headers,if no emission in your area go for an off-road X or H pipe
Aftermarket Mufflers(get out listen to different Mustangs with different mufflers on them,most popular is the 2 chamber Flowmaster,not the best but definitely most popular)
Short-throw shifter
Above all should have listed this first is a good state of tune
If you can afford it get some rear gears 3.55 is pretty popular,lot of people like 3.73 gears some are really ballsy and put 4.10's in stock Mustangs
In my opinion soon as you get the car I would change all the fluids in it,oil,transmission fluid,rear end fluid
I do not know if that added up to 1000 dollars it might be more but those are the simple things you can do right off the bat,well everything except the rear gear swap that is a task,if you want that done right take it to a shop where they use depth gauges,feelers,the whole 9 yards and listen to the car as you drive away,you will know what sounds strange and what does not,if you don't get a second opinion,and good luck when you get the car
