Ford Mustang: Thinking of buying an '87 GT

Hi All,
I'm thinking of buying an '87 GT for $4500.00. It has chrome cobra r wheels,
eibach springs, subframe connectors, bolt in rollbar, pretty decent black
repaint (original color), 3.73 posi., stock rebuilt motor, and aotomatic
trans. Runs good and strong. A/C not working. Being an early model type of
guy I don't know the ins and outs of the fox body 'stangs of this era. I
heard there's a way of telling if it's been run hard by looking at the sail
panels. Where exactly and what do I look for? Any other tips would help too.
Thanks.

Hi Patrick,

I bought the car. It runs excellent. The gal I bought it from had the work
done by her boyfriend/husband of 5 years. They bought it stock from the
original owner. The guy's a hotrodder like me so I basically bought a car I
would've done all those things to anyway. I just have to chase down a few
minor incovenieces like rattles (common for that age), passenger window
doesn't roll up, install A/C (I'm a wimp), And repaint a few accents that
were done in yellow (the car is black), otherwise the frame is straight and
there aren't any wrinkles in the sheetmetal and no apparent signs of bondo.
