i know im a newbie when it comes to cars, but even i can tell the difference between a Nova and a Barracuda.....LOL....i was parked next to this Nova and was about to leave when this National Guard private comes by with his girlfriend/wife, and whe was going on about how he use to have a Barracuda just like it, and u could clearly tell it was a Nova with all the markers....i dont know....i just thought that was funny...:laughing:
 
Those kinda comments are pretty comin among non-car guys!
My Scamp has been called a Dart ALOT also one time was asked if it was a Chevelle!:vom:
I have the big 340 callout decal on the hood,and a kid asked me if i had a 350 in it!#-o
 
I had someone ask me the other day if my Duster was an Olds. It says 440 on the rear Quarter. He saw that and said it must be an olds it has a 4 4 2 in it. :tard:

I have had people come up to me and ask what kind of car is that ,I just look at the front fender and point out the dart swinger on it. You know they all have to ask what kind of motor... I tell them its a 400 Big block. Some will say chevy or pontiac did not have a 400 big block they have a small block so you have to have a small block 400.
I tell them IT IS A 72 DODGE DART SWINGER WITH A DODGE 400 BIG BLOCK.
 
One of the funniest things I've seen was when I had my Duster at a cruise in type car show on the street In New Smyrna Beach. I drove my car on the street then, it was plain white and ran 11.70's just like I drove it. I was parked next to a black 67,68,69 Camaro and there was it's nearly identical twin across the street from us. I put a time slip on the dash, removed the hood and went and sat on a bus stop bench across the street just to see what kind of reaction the car got.

A couple, came along, both with cameras. They spent 10 minutes going over my car, looking at the engine, looking underneath, inside just studied it pretty hard for that time, then they stood up, turned around, snapped pictures of the Camaro across the street and the one next to my car then walked away.

My Dart has been called a Scamp twice now. But it doesn't help that all the badges are stripped off.
 
A few years ago a member of another board won 1st Place "IMPORT" with his 65 Barracuda, he respectfully declined the trophy......

Here's what I get from the youngin's:

What's a Plymouth ???
Is a 318 V-6??
What is it?
Is that a Hemi?

From the Chevy Guy's......
That 318 on the scoop is a joke right?
How much Nitrous do you run?

When I pull the hood......the whispers....
That Fu$$ing things got iron heads!
It is a small block, what the Fu$$?
Where is he hideing the NOS?
...always good for a laugh....The Power of Mighty Mopar!

my car is constantly called a Chevelle, or ill be asked if it has a 440 Hemi in it. My boss insists that the Ebody Barracudas and Dusters are hard to tell apart. My friends Duster is always called a Nova. Once a guy told me he had an olds with "that big 442 in it" and i told him that they didnt have 442 engines and he said "yah they did" , ive just decided to agree with all these "car buffs" instead of trying to enlighten them
 
hey 68 Valiant, nice car, I saw you left a message on cardomain for my friends 71 Scamp. I pretty much run his cardomain because i made his account to host some of the pictures for our own site, and I knew your car looked very familiar. nice car man
 
A few years ago, I had pulled into a quick-stop grocery store one night about 1am to get a coke. When I came out, there were 4-5 "young fellas" standing around my Swinger (I had previously removed all nameplates, tags, emblems, etc....no scoop, dog dish hubs...nothing to give this car away except fat tires and sewer-sized exhaust out the back) and one of the older fellas asked me if it was a Rambler Ambassador....I laughed till I cried. I said, "no, its a '72 Dodge Dart with a /6." and then they commenced to giving me a ribbing about it being a ma-ma's car. So I then bet them all $100 bill that there wasn't a car in the parking lot that could take her in the 1/4 mile. One of the Honda jocks was tempted, but decided against it. I got in and lit off that 440 and they all jumped back about 3 feet. There mouths were wide open as I left a couple nice black tire strips AFTER it shifted into 2nd gear........ Nothing like Mopar power.
Several days later, my son came home and said something about that encounter. The word was out: Stay away from that old fart in the old blue Dodge....the car is baaad and he is crazy!
