Random visit from someone who saw my car in the garage-4 sale? Ever happen to U?

[longgone]

Took my 70' Cuda to my father-in-laws one weekend for a 4th of July cookout.  Took him for a ride, he didn't even know what a Cuda was....

Anyways, while out on our ride, I must have ran over something and it poked a hole in a transmission line.  I ended up leaving the car at his house a few days until i could get another line and fix it....

After 3 days my father-in-law calls me and says come get this damn car out of my carport.  I said why, he says I have had over 30 people stop and ask if it was for sale, some as late as 11:00 at night.

He said, I don't know what a cuda is but I wouldn't own...   He made some comment about flies hovering around $#%# and my car must stink as many people were swarming around it...

I smiled and said, It's a Mopar thing...

 Cool story Blueglow, how many  do you get cruising around town? It can be hard to concentrate on driving while responding to them all the time.

Usually my 73 Chally stays in the garage, but since I am also working on a 71 Corvette I have to take it out to work on that car.  I've had several people stop by just to ask about it.  Most are neighbors and usually have a classic car in their garage, sometimes I get a door to door salesman who just won't go away and uses the car as a conversation piece to get me to buy whatever he is selling.  The funny thing is when I take the car to work I park it where I can see it from the windows of my building I usually see a group walking around admiring it at least a couple of times a day.

When I bought my Dad a 57 Fairlane I had to store it outside till we could get transportation to his house (wouldn't fit in the garage and he lives 6 hours away) I would walk outside and find people pulling over and taking pictures or walking around it.

One day I had the 67 Vette and the 71 Cuda parked next to each other on the double car side of the garage and this middle eastern guy came flying down the street in his Mercedes, saw the open garage and slammed on his brakes. He actually pulled his car in my driveway and yelled " Gihad"...lol j/k he asked me if I wanted to sell either or both of them.

You just got to shake your head and roll your eyes before you ask " would you give me $3,000.00 for them?"

Another lady was going door to door selling things and actually walked in my garage to look at the Cuda before she asked if it was for sale.

Now I keep old quilts over them inside so people can't see what they are. I only open the door to go in or out.

My house is 200 ft from the road, in the woods, the garage door is rarely open. Yet a few times I've had people see it and want to know if it was for sell. Must be Mopar eyes.

Everything I own is always for sale.......If the price is right...

I own a 71 Superbee and as I'm working on my 70 Challenger R/T doors, I always have people stopping by to tell me how much they like the bee.

The house next door is for sale and not long ago a couple were looking at it and they saw the bee and as they were leaving they just had to come over and take a look.
Very nice people from PA.

I don't mind people coming by, you just don't see cars like these anymore and even people who don't know muscle cars slow down and look, it's eye-candy.  Besides i don't worry about theft (even though I'm in so cal), I get LOJACK + mobile GPS for all my cars.
