Mines a california special clone the odd thing i get asked a lot is it a shelby.Its your car if they don't like it hell with them you built the way you wanted it not how they want it to look.

 

I think my friend is jealous of my 67. He has a 68 and says my car sucks, but I think it is due to the mods I have done with MY money. His parents bought his car and paid for his suspension. I bought my car with MY money. Some people are jealous because your car is so badass and you actually own the car.

 

when he looks at your car and starts talking about a 70s MACH1, then this man is either jealous or doesn't know what else to say. ignore him ...

 

Ignore the comments and if you are realy concerned then part next to a car that has even more mods than yours. The comments from jerks like that will naturally go toward the other car and not yours. You could then team up on the jerk later and ask why he didn't personalize his car. Perhaps it was for lack of his own personal identity. Maybe I am going a little deep here.....................

 

Some concours people are narrow minded with no sense of humor and have no room in their brain for modified anything. Modified classes exist in every major car show as a bonified class. It shows creativity and style.

When you think about it, a Shelby Mustang is a mod. So is a Saleen Mustang.

The only modded car that isn't cool is the one that had a crappy restoration job, with inferior work, inferior parts, or parts that are cheap or totally innappropriate and junk up the car (see: triple neon green wiper blades). I am proud of my first place trophy in the '69 modified class. My car is far from stock, but it's no junker.

If it wasn't for the popularity of your coupe there would never have been a '70 Mach I.

Don't let people like that get to you. They don't know any better.

I think your car looks great. Take it to the show. Enjoy. People will love it.

 

Here is mine...67 stang

 

just tell em to **** off, it's your car not theirs

 

If the local club makes unkind comments about your car then you don't need them. In my local club if it wasn't for coupes we wouldn't have a single car from 64.5 to 70.
Personally I think the concours people are a little crazy from their correctly plated bolts to the exact shade of flat black on the various suspension pieces, not to mention correct overspray and factory paint markings. All that money in a car they don't even drive.
Just drive and enjoy your car and the heck with what all the rest think.

 

Don't worry about what other people say. Your car! your taste. I always get a guy at a show that puts my car down for one or another reason, doesn't bother me. Look at what they drive and you'll understand why there so bitter . All of us here like your car and would cruse with you anytime, and thats what counts.....

Let us know how the show goes....
