Car 2 1965 Lone Star with 5k miles 351W stroked to 427 and T5 transmission offered at $29k. No top or cover

Both cars are blue with white stripes.

This is a tough decision.
You are really not giving us a lot to work with, what other options does each car have (wipers, heater, IRS, type of shocks used, details of the engine, knock off or bolt on wheels, type of gauges and their layout in the dash, etc). What condition is each car in, what condition is the paint in on each car, what condition is the interior of each car, how about the mileage of each car? ? ? Finally, what is your ultimate goal and/or use for the car (IE: street cruiser, daily driver, drag racer, road racer, etc).....

With a lot more information, we can really assist you. Finally, besides the color of the cars, what else drew you to them? Perhaps neither of those cars is really good for you and you are allowing your emotions to get the better of you right now.
