Description for Ford Mustang 1988

I bought the car in NY 3 years ago. In that time I have put less than 1,000 miles on it. I am the fourth owner. I believe the car was originally from the Watkins Glen area. I have never launched the car, aken it to the track or driven it hard. The car has always been stored in my garage under cover. The car has never seen rain or snow as long as I have owned it.
Previous owner did a lot of routine and preventative maintenance as well as some minor performance upgrades. I've attached a list.
The car runs good, ulls hard and does not smoke or knock. The exterior paint is in good condition as well as the red interior (no rips, urns or tears). A sun roof was also installed in the car at some point in time. Does not leak.
A lot of the typical 5.0 issues were accounted for. From making sure the ignition and cooling system were trouble free to even fixing the typical ash tray problem. Upgraded suspension including Steeda lowering springs, YB strus, YB shocks and even KYB quad shocks. Also replaced the upper and lower rear control arms. Swapped out the original 2.73 gears for 3.55 gears along with a Ford Motorsport Traction-Lok differential and the correct transmission spedo gear (so therefore the speedometer is correct).
One suggestion is that the car could benefit from a new clutch. However, he clutch does not slip or grind, hat's based on the release point of the clutch.
The only other issues I can think of is there is very minimal surface rust on the bottom inside of the doors, hich you can't see unless the door is open.
Headlights were changed to clear corners and the taillights to the SVO style tail lights. The car does not have AC. The car also does not have power windows. The car sounds great and does have aftermarket headers (I think they are BBK) and Flowmaster mufflers.
All in all its a great car and I have taken much pride in owning it.
