I decided.
Long ago tiring of such You Tubers blathering over a staged, "barn find" to generate hits. Obnoxious twit. At 20 years old, many of us had better knowledge base of early Mustangs. I am curious exactly what the target demographic of this You Tuber is?
These "finds" were all over the place in the '70s. In '77 my rust & damage free 500 sat beside the road for 8 months with a For Sale Sign of $3000. I was the only person that had interest. I passed on a SuperBird and factory, showroom condition Boss for similar money.
