Don't know which I would prefer to own.

Both would be fun to drive.

That has been for sale for ages, not far from me from memory, was advertised locally around here for not a lot of $$. Can't actually recall the price, but can recall thinking that it was cheap.

Long wheel bace ford, factory 351 FMX 9'
