Thumbs up Looking for a small block MK1

I would like a complete car (but I will go the roller if I have to)...de bugged in white or red....don't need any bells or whistles...no dams...no bubbles (I'm 5'8" )...no fancy wheels or tires ...standard hip .... no stripes except the Ford sill...this car will be a sunday cruiser for a 70 yo poser and will never see a track, do a burnout or slide to a stop . It will be driven on backcounty roads at less than 80 mph, I am sure 300 hp will do the job (trick has a different meaning !). It must be trouble free with air that can cope with 100 degree weather and a heater/defroster/wipers that can cope with 40 degree rainy weather. I do not need a exotic motor or transmission. I had webbers on a Porche and they were annoying so I will go with a single carb unless some one can convince me that the "look like webbers fi" are trouble free . So if you are inclined to help out a foolish old man tell me what manufacturer makes the 1.) Most authentic...2.) The best quality...3.) the best value...I can afford to spend what I need to spend but not anymore. (And yes, I have considered a Vet and a Ford GT but I want to check out the replica's.. ) Any advice ?? Thanks in advance for your trouble...
