So, I know there are some Mustang owners here, this one popped up and I am thinking of making an offer on it for my daughter's first car (she is starting to turn into a gear head). This would be something we would work on and get it ready for her to start driving at the end of the year.
So Mustang owners, what should I be worried about with this potential purchase?

The only thing I would be worried about is any major rust issues, and making sure the engine is serviceable in its present state.
Swapping in a rear end is easily done, plus there are still tons of aftermarket parts available.
The rear diff went bye-bye on my son-in-laws 6 cylinder Mustang years ago when he had one. We sourced a used one from a V8 at a junk yard and picked it up (rotor to rotor), bolted it in after drilling bigger mounting holes, and it was as good as new.
I wouldn't pay $900 for that tho.
