Not Ranked
it depends...
The major difference between the two that might sway one towards one or the other is desired engine configurations. The Unique 427 is great for an FE (390, 428, 427) or (351/302) type engine configurations. Also Unique comes with a more accurate type Jag/IRS rear - if that is important to you. The BDR is not set up to handle an FE engine right now; only 351s, 302/289s, etc. Both are great values. If you want to build it a little, or want an FE big-block, go with the Unique. If Turnkey minus and going with a small-block Ford engine seems more attractive, the BDR might be a good option if you don't care about having a BMW suspension under the car; not saying it's bad, just different and less original style. Make sure you add up them $$$ side by side, for all the parts. Building a car is more expensive and time consuming than most people know at first - unless you've been through this before. Also, there are some nice, complete, used cars out there worth looking at too.
Good Luck.
