When people approach you about your Charger......

[pettyfan43]

I'm sticking a 440 in my 66 Charger, in place of a DEAD poly 318. When the car is painted and finished, I am leaving the little 2 barrel V-8 emblems on the fenders, I am also adding a 67 style Super Stock hood scoop.

I just REALLY want to screw with the idiots and know it alls! No telling what kind of response they are gonna get when they ask about engines in my car.

Ya gotta picture, the car is DARK green (GG1) with that scoop it has a black interior, it has 15X7 steelies in front and 15X8 steelies in back with poverty caps then has those little V-8 emblems. and a solid exhaust note! sitting pretty low with those fat wheels and tires.

should be fun.

I had the 74 se at a cruisein this sat. I had several kids come up to me and ask what it was! they didn't even know it was a charger. Of course there was only a handful of mopars there.

when they ask if my car has a hemi i say yes its a 4 cyl hemi with a 2 speed tranny and one bbl carb. and its for sale.50000.00 plus tax. they tend to walk away.

[Charger_Fan]

When they ask if it's real I tell them to "touch it, does it feel real?". 

NICE!

Man, that whole "this isn't your car" thing just pisses me off...as I'm sure it still does you, Mike.

[ACUDANUT]

 When someone says "that's not original" tell them "it's better than yours".

[CharlieCharger]

The guy pretended to drive as he left?   

OH MAN that made me roll

[70charginglizard]

I just like the guys who come up to my car. Look right at the hood and then come up to me and ask me what I got under the hood. 

[71ChallengeHer]

When I owned my 70 Barracuda GC , I put a bulge hood on it. It still had the 340 'Cuda emblems on it so I left them on. It was just a 318 car. I use to have have guys come up to me and ask does that really have a 340 in it. I would reply " No, it has a Hemi. I put 340 emblems on it so people would quit asking me about it. "

[Mean 318]

my car is kind of a beater, but the three inch pipes out the back and the sound will give it away... otherwise it is a sleeper!
Nothing is more insulting to have someone come up and say "I will give ya 1200..." "NO" "Hows 1600" How F&*# OFF" I have no problem with people asking about the car or wanting to know if it is for sale. But to low ball like that....

[68isgr8]

I don't get bothered when I'm driving, just because I'm a girl.    I don't get the attention like my husband does when he's the one driving.  What irritates the hell out of me, a lot of guys come upto the car and the first thing they look at is the VIN #.  I tell them, "it's an R/T".  I can tell they have questions, but don't want to ask them because they feel i won't know the answers.  Sometimes being a girl in this hobby sucks.

[Silver R/T]

ive had the lowball offers too. i had a guy walk up to me at a gas station and say, "thats a nice looking car. I think i'm gonna buy it from ya!" then slapped 500 bucks on the hood. I told him to take his hands off my car, and that 500 bucks will buy him 2 of the wheels of the car. thats it. then he got pissed off and called me some names then left. jerks are everywhere.

Id grab $500 and peel out of station as fast as I can.

[cold85]

I get the is it for sale and I say do you see a sign? they reply no. well there's your answer.
the best are the "mopar guys" so they say. then they ask is it a hemi 383? And you are a mopar guy?

Or you always get this my car is mercedes silver and a 440 "I had one just like that"
"it was a roadrunner and lime green and a 318" me, well your right they were just alike

[deputycrawford]

     I had a young guy argue with my soon-to-be ex-wife that mine was a 68. She kept telling him its a 69. He kept it up until the guy with the car next to mine told him to read my 69 model year plates. What an idiot.
     I have had many people ask me if it has a Hemi in it. I tell them "its got a 'B' deck wedge in it." They just look at me. One guy looked at it and told me it needs alot of work. I asked him if it needed more than his 69 charger. He said nothing. One more. I had a guy offer me $4000 for it. I told him it was insured for over $18,000, which it is, I then said he can have just the tranny and drive shaft for that much. He just drove away.
     Many people talk without thinking. I have job security because of that. I just wish it wouldn't spill over into the hobby.

I have a buddy with a NICE 70 Charger R/T clone. Red, black top interior and tailstripe. NICE running 440, Chrome magnum 500s and a REALLY nice solid straight car.

This car has a nice interior and is just a nice solid driver.

A guy that lives near me, saw him at a local hardware store. Asks him if he wants to sell the car. Now the guy near me has had MANY Mopars, A lot of really nice cars.
He tells my buddy he's like to buy the car. So to humor the guy my buddy asks, what would you give for it. The guy looks at him seriously and says, "I wouldn't be afraid to put about ten in it (10k)" My buddy just told him not to hold his breath! That is around HALF what this car would bring.

"too bad it's not a hemi"
"too bad I don't have an orchard of money trees"

I've said that a few times

[ck1]

just pimp slap them before they open there mouth

[Mike DC]

Lowball sellers:

If they keep pestering me then I pretend to think about it for a minute and then say, "So what you're telling me is that you'd choose to keep my car and give up your $2000?   
Then I say, "Well, guess what?  I totally agree with you.  I'd much rather keep the car too."

 

[Ghoste]

And it's always been this way too.  I had a car back in the 80's when I lived in a "lower income" area.  One morning when I was leaving for work as I went to get in the car, I had to step over this dude that looked like Willie Nelson who thought that our parking lot was a good place to sleep.  When I started the car, old Willie looked up and as I was letting it warm up, he staggered over to give me a , "nice car man".  I thanked him and then he asked if it was for sale.  I just looked at him and told him there weren't enough food stamps in the world and drove away.

[Bones68charger]

It's amazing that if you have a car it must be fore sale, sometimes I get annoyed by people who ask me if its for sale, and then they get pissed if your not willing to sell.

On a side note, I got my car because it was a 318. The seller could not get rid of it because it did not have a big block. Nobody wanted it. I could not care less what it had.

Tell em its a two stroke titsomatic with a left handed box pumper.

[gojo64]

The people who ask if it's for sale are very annoying to me. When they ask if it's for sale, I just reply "Do you see a For Sale sign on it?" or "If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it." 

[Bob]

Usually right after, "Nice car," they ask if it's a 440. I, of course reply "No, it's a 400". The conversation usally dies right there. Most have not heard of the 400. Like now my car is not as nice because it does not have a 440. Correction, "It has the 400 Magnum".

"Everything is for sale for the right price. Is your daddy Donald Trump? No? Then you won't be able to afford my "right" price. Have a nice day!"


My car isn't even close to being done and I've had offers for it as is. The first one would have gotten me out even - it was tempting. I could have turned around and bought something that was already done. A year and a half later, I think I should have taken it. (But I'd have probably spent the money on upgrading the house instad of another Charger...)

[Zentelis]

I'll be using the liter rating with the import folks..it translates better.

Them: "Yo, what engine does that have?"
Me: "440"
Them:  "Is that a lot?"

Vs.

Them: "Yo, what engine does that have?"
Me: "7.2 liter"
Them: " That's like 10 times bigger than my engine!"

I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but the reaction should be similar   
And then I'll tell them it's not for sale hehe
