The seller has come up to me numerous times when I've showed my car in Southern Cal. Talking with him he seems knowledgeable about these cars so if this is a genuine article then I'm surprised there's no photos or mention of buck tags, door sticker or ID #'s in his ad.
The door window tint is illegal in CA but a common sight on cars in areas where the police are too overworked to be bothered with it. Also, you'd have to lose those door moldings if you want a correct restoration.
Concerning the mileage, there are at least three CHP Mustangs restos from that area that have over 200k on the original motors and the owners all report they are still running strong so I wouldn't sweat the 158k right off the bat.
Man, I'm diggin' that spare for sure!
