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.

In discussing values with an exotic engine builder was informed, the hobby has become a dick swinging contest of wealth.  That few know whether to set dwell or timing first.  With a build priority on idle lope.
