As others have said at that age look at the condition rather than brand. Look at the maintenance records, have the fluids been changed regularly? what improvements have been made? I would want headers on either the 460 or 454 at that age due to cracked exhaust manifolds or leaking gaskets. Is the radiator original? Have any of the basic components been replaced refer, WH, MW,etc. Do they all work? Any delaminations or leaks? When you test drive it does it handle OK? Does it overheat at idle or climbing a hill? Look behind things any rodent nests? A well maintained 20 year MH could be a good find. One that has not been maintained can be a money pit.
