Love both but it's the Ford that gets my vote.

My '54 has a 1985 Mustang 302 and T5 5 speed- I bought early Fall as an unfinished project- Paint and interior had been done and had a rush job of reassembly- Many trim clips, nuts and bolts missing- even 4 body mount bolts- it sat for about 6 years after that being used as a bench- did get some minor paint damage- had to pull down part of the headliner to correctly install some of the trim- it was put back together without a rubber seal anywhere- trunk/ door/ window- a bitter pill but should have checked it out better- knew drivetrain was noisy- low fluid in T5 and the stock rear end- I've rebuilt the trans- found out no ring and pinion available for the rear end- mine has broken teeth- so drivable but more noise than I like coming from that- lots of goofy add on inside but not my cup of tea so pulled them- under dash mood lights, 45 record player but gutted so why, waiting for Spring to drive and determine what else is needed-

Very close between these two but I give the nod to the Ford.

@2bubbas Bob, looks like you have a few challengers ahead of you...should be a nice driver when all is said and done. Thanks for sharing.
