Whats the first question people ask when they see your mustang?
« on: November, 10, 2009, 06:00:39 PM »
As the subject says... What the first question people ask when they see your car?

With my 69, the most commonly asked question is: Does that thing have a Windsor or Cleveland? Second has to be: What color are you painting it?(as if I'll ever get it out of primer)



Whats the first thing they ask you?

With the real lumpy idle my '66 has, they ask what is under the hood....then they tend to ask about the '04 seats being a nice upgrade. Of course with it being for sale, they also ask the price......

I'm always asked what color I'm going to paint it.  I don't think they can think of anything else to ask.

I don't honestly get a lot of questions when I am out and about...most often you get a "nice car" or "cool car"..something along those lines.

If people ask something it is usually "what year is that?"

In car groups probably the first question is "what motor are you running".

Every now and then I get someone asking if I want to sell it...I just tell them "sure $25k and it's all yours"...haven't found a taker on that one yet, LOL!  For that much though I could pick up another one in pretty good shape and still have lots of money left over after fixing the new one up / doing some mods, etc.

It's a toss up between is that a Boss, what color is that and is it a real 427?

Most popular question is,  What year is that?  Followed by,  Did you paint that yourself?  My answer to the second question is   I wish I could paint that good.
   
      Jake,  Don't you get the question,  When are you going to drive it? :)

I get the usual "what year is it?" question a lot, but the one question that usually get's asked by people who I assume to be "car guys" that really bugs me is:  "Is it a real Shelby?"

1. What year is it?

2. Did you get it that way or did you have to do some work on it ?

"How much ya want for it?"
If my wife is with me she responds "$60,000"
"Yeah right. It ain't worth that."
Then she says "you didn't ask that"
