I get people all the time asking - "Nice Mustang! '65?" "No it's a '67!"
I had one guy say - "Nice Mustang! Is it all bondo?"
Anyone get this one - "Did you buy it new?" "No, they didn't sell cars to 4 year olds back in '67" I don't look even close to being in my 60's - most guess my age at 37 or 38.

oh I forgot one, everyone that asks what engine is in my car I say 351 and they go "cleveland?" no damnit its not a cleveland, why does everyone remember those when the windsor has been around another 20 something years...
and I've been asked "it got a 289 in there?" I kinda laugh to myself and say no, 351 and spare the time to explain to them that there was no more 289's after 68', let alone point out that my hood says "351"

I park in the back of the parking lot at work and pretty much the same of any parking lot.Gas stations are the most fun i have a California special clone always hear the is it a Shelby i tell them to find a Shelby badge then try to tell them what a California special.I have heard the did your dad buy you that or does daddy know your driving his car.Best one i had was checking the oil at a gas station a teenager guy asked me if i had a blower i said yes twins pointed to my chrome alt and power steering pump.I do get the is it a 302 even with the hood up its a man o war 460 with the big single plane intake on it.

I get all the standard questions in mine to, and a lot of people love to assume that it's my parents car. One of the comments that has pissed me off the most was one day I was taking cruising around with my brother and he wanted to go to the bank. Well as he was inside I was in the parking lot dusting the '65 when a guy going into the bank says "Nice car, I bet you were really happy when you're daddy bought you that." I wanted to tell him to F-off so bad, but instead I corrected him on how we restored it and I did most of the work on it. I hate people like that, especially once they realize that they made a mistake, don't apologize for it and then continue to ask you if it has a 283 in it.
bastards haha. just becuase im 23 doesnt mean i cant have a nice '65 vert with only 29k miles on it and it be 90% original.
granted i am buying it from grandma so im getting a deal
lol but hey im keeping it in the family

If someone offered me $20k for the '66 Coupe I have I would not be able to sell it fast enough...I only have about $10k into it (with several grand worth of stuff that needs to be done) and I could find another classic Stang pretty easy. If the banks were open I wouldn't be able to get home fast enough to get the title provided they had good funds.
