The misfit motor is bothersome. For that kind of money I'd want the original.
The cold start video was interesting because I was very familiar with a '65 SC owned by a doctor next door when I was 18 or so. It didn't start anywhere near that smoothly and it was brand spanking new. Snotty little motors with a bit of a cam sound (lumpy idle — just).
That one was black over red and it was really sexy. He traded in a Ferrari. Probably the biggest mistake ever, but he got the reliability he needed for a daily.
