Default I don't know crap about stangs, would this be a good trade?

Well I have a guy that is wanting to trade his stang for my EG2 Del Sol straight trade. I don't know jack about these so input is appreciated.

The Sol: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=89839.0

The Stang:

"The good:
-Runs greats
-Looks good (compliments all the time, thumbs up driving around, etc)
-Low miles on 245-45-17" tires (fuzion)
-5.0 motor is 100% stock
-New exhaust (xpipe, but needs mufflers/cats to pass any type of inspection)
-Recently changed spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor button, plug wires, coil, and antifreeze
-Recently changed rear brake pads
-Most accessories work (ie, lights, signals, top, windows, flashers, trunk popper, key fob, etc)
-Interior and exterior are complete
-The car is very reliable and drives nicely. The motor is also still strong and pulls hard.
-Low miles on professionally installed Motive 3.73 gears
-Car is almost completely original except gears and exhaust
-Clutch still grabs hard, no tranny grinds/noises, no diff noises/grinds.
-Heat works great


The Bad:
-Had a minor coolant leak, but I used stop-leak to temporarily fix it. No leaks in 2 weeks. -You have to help the driver side seat move and driver side rear glass
-The top is tattered on the edge behind the windows, but nothing major to make it leak
-lLeather/interior is sun beat, seats are torn on the sitting surface, but the carpet is decent
-Small dings and paint chips, but are barely noticable
Odometer is stopped at 160,000 even, possibly not the original cluster as it has an overdrive light. It was like this when I bought it, but it drove and ran so good, I didn't worry about it.
-AC compressor bearings seized so I routed the belt around it. The auction comes with an extra compressor. AC system is still complete as well.

I will include a lower GT40 intake and 600 holley carb. Also includes the factory 3.08 gears."

If you get decent money for your del sol you could probably get a non fucked with next body style GT.
