Help buying 1988 GT.....

I'm thinking of buying a 1988 Mustang GT. (purchased in 1987)
from it's original owner.

It's in excellent condition. Kept in garage.Not a scratch.
It is all original excepting Kelly HR tires.
35K original miles on od.
Ext-.Black on Titanium w/red stripe.
Int.-Red/Black.
T5 Tranny,PW/PDL/PM/RWD/tilt wheel/cruise/factory sunroof/AMFM Cass.
Air Cond.(not working)

The owner is asking for 11k$
Since there aren't many cars like this one in this condition
let alone for sale does this sound like a fair price?

I was hoping I could get some feedback from you Mustang experts.


Thanks,
Jack...
Rochester,NY...

AC will cost $1,500 have to go to the 134a stuff.
There were too many 5.0's made, in my view only modified (blown) ones 87 to
93 are worth anything, to spend $$ to keep up. A normal 88 is worth about
$1,000 or so.

Checkout autotrader on line for $11k you can get a lot of used car, like a
2000-2002 mustang that is only 5 years old instead of almost 20. (and the
plastic parts outgass and go bad... .)

That's too much for an '88.

That $$ will buy a lot of later model car.

All good suggestions here. Too much for the car, checking autotrader on-line
you'll find some very close to that (up your mileage to search) for about
1/2 the price. Even better Restomods (5 bolt wheels, bigger brakes,
supercharger ect) for less.
