Default 260 V8

i know a guy who has a cheap 260 V8 with a 3 speed. Its in restore-needed condition, but its cheap. Claims its the 204th mustang built, ever.

Is there any extra value for a 260 V8 cuz they arnt as common?

I dont think GM ever made a 302. I think that the called their version of the 302 the 303 (tryin to upstage ford again, never gonna happen!) I kinda under stand where your comin from about the 260 but if that mustang is seriously the 204th one built then it would only make sense that that would make it more valuable.

Well, ACtually chevy did make a 302. It's odd, but they did, and they are rare too. And Another thing, Chevy did make better cars back in the old days. Im sorry. If you get in a 68 Camaro and a 68 Mustang, you wouldn't have no problem pin pointing the better built car, which is the Camaro.

Chevy 302 = z28 Camaro... it was the special engine designed as a promotional thing for the Camaro.
