Always got amused at the "My buddy had one just like that, but it was a 4-dr". When looking at something like a Barracuda or Challenger that only came in 2drs.
Or, in the later '80s, a guy would come up and talk about the car, then ask "What engine is that?" when looking at an original 426 HEMI car. Or the famous 440 Six-Pak HEMI that a buddy of his used to have.
In the case of the 426 HEMI question, one of our car club members replied "It's a Canadian 318", to which the guy replied "WOW! Never saw one of them before". Us being in TX, that would be a rare car. This was well before we knew that a Canadian 318 really did exist, but without the wwiiiddee valve covers.
Those were the days!
