Nope, it's part of the reason why I have one and the fact that I can trouble shoot and work on it.

i enjoy a good thumbs up and an admiring smile, maybe a comment or two but some people want to talk to you half the day about it. maybe it's a tribute to the mustang crowd. i also own a 70 vw and a 74 mgb and the same thing happens-----just nowhere near as often. i suppose it could be worse. imagine what it would be like to drive a duesenberg.

I don't ever get tired of talking about my car but one question that does bug me is "how much is it worth"?..I blame this mostly on the Barrett Jackson tv show.As a mustang enthusiast I am more interested in how it was built from the factory or how the owner has modified it from stock..

I hate it when people ask how fast it will go. And i'm like 100ish, and their like that's it...

I bought the car for the history not for ***** to the wall speed.

Never get tired of it. It is an adventure going to the store or gas station. Have figure 1 or 2 people are going to want to talk about it or the car they had to get rid of years ago.

It is all part of owning a classic.

I get a lot of question, as for the "what's it worth", I tell them- "don't know, don't care".
