Pistol grip for an A-Body with Center Console
LOL I agree on both counts
So do my friends. My best friend and his brother stopped by one day (for me to take a look at a car) and he says to me "Show my brother your car!" So I popped the hood and his brother says "What's that mean?" (pointing to the 340 Pie Tin on the Air cleaner) my buddy says "Dude, that means "340% Whoop *** is contained within that car"
It also attracts bad attention too (people, you know the kind that don't respect stuff).
I was fueling up at the Wallet Killer and went inside to pay (ironically enough, the same friend is the manager at the gas station) and he says to me. "Dude you better get outside, somebody is getting in your car!" I turn around, and sure enough, some guy in his 40's has the door open on my Duster!
I pay and then run outside (long day, otherwise I would have hit him) When he asks about the car, I cooled off a bit, thinking he was a mopar nut too (although that didn't excuse the fact he opened my door) Until he started nit-picking about my car.
I don't try to pass my car off as anything it's not, its got parts from all kinds of A-Bodies and some E-Body too. But he's walking around the car telling me the Grille is for a '73 and not a '74 (Actually it is a '74 Grille, the original one for my car, only I blacked it out).. Then he tells me the Tail Lights are wrong, that '74s didn't have the Chrome Bezel around them, that they were mounted flush from the inside of the tail panel. I was pretty steamed by that point, got in my car and left.
Never had to lock my door at a gas station before (live in a small town). Always took the keys out of the ignition and put them in my pocket though. But after that I installed an Alarm in the car and started locking the door even if I'm only getting out of it for a second.
