Thanks! I always enjoy the research and shopping part! I appreciate the info on Vintage Motorsports. I may have to up my budget slightly! It looks like they sell the Backdraft for 35 and I can pick an engine package and get a brand new car! They offer the Coyote engine from the new mustangs. That might be a nice option as far as reliability. Maybe not as cool and powerful as the 427? They also have an EFI 427 which is appealing to me. Seems like you could get a brand new one for 35+20ish? Maybe a slightly used one similar to that would get me close to the 40 number? All good info and greatly appreciated. I do need to see some up close and personal, very good advice. Thanks again!
