And they decidied to paint it brown like a turd
>>28766552That ain't brown its burnt orange and I'll beat your ass if you say it's brown again
Brown looks good on old cars. It doesn't work on today's cars because they already look like shit.
>>28766552I like this color
>>287665531 OF 2 THAT HAD THE PAINT MIXED UP BECAUSE ROB HAD ONE DRINK TOO MANY THREE HOURS BEFORE HIS SHIFT.1 OF 1 PAINTED IN DOG BONER ORANGE.THIS IS THAT CAR.
>>28766552Brown was a 70's colour.
Coco colors symbolize a savory, rich, and subtlety bold taste. Just like women with brown eyes they're particularly beautiful when the sun kisses their surface.
people are gonna say the same shit about this disgusting putty grey trend.
>>28766610>Dog Boner OrangeYeah and how many white women does YOUR car pull, sonny boy?
>>28766552Would look even more beautiful with a color matched brown cloth soft top
>>28767183i dunno it's still on jack stands but a chick did wave at me while i was wrenching on it
>>28766553>tfw skin color is burnt orange
>>28767323I didn't know you were a chantard, Snooki.
>>28766553I hate to tell you this anon but "brown" is essentially just "dark orange"
>>28766715brown eyes are for subhumans. if they ain't blue, you're a weapon of the Jew.
>>28767483many jews have blue eyes though
>>28767486shabbos goyim, descendants of converts who sold out their Aryan soul to Pharisees.
>>28766552It's sexily curved and painted the color of a nicely tanned beach bunny, who should be laying on the hood, wearing a bikini, with hair colormatched to the ragtop.That's what I see when I look at that car, and that's why "burnt orange" cars with sleek curves like a rollerskating girl's thighs sold like hotcakes.
>>28766610Back in that time you might even get a different engine than what you ordered in the car. Quality control of cars was horrendous in those days.
>>28766552Sure beats npc gray.
>>28766552those Buick/Oldsmobile/Mercury muscle cars never sold well because the typical muscle car buyer was not frequenting those dealerships
The 70 GNX, still a potent muscle car. By 72 it's getting weaker as emissions shit kicks in.
>>28768432In real life only dudes love these classic muscle cars so if you're a faggot it's perfect
>>28766552later performance cars were more civilized but they never again had the primal rawness of 65-71 muscle cars
>>28768449imagine if you ordered a 383 Coronet and found it had a Slant Six in it. stuff like that happened on occasion.
>>28768577lol wtf
>>28768587I've heard stories from boomers about just how bad car Q/C was in those days. One guy saying a high school friend of his got a 327 Chevelle that was supposed to be a six (it had the 250 badge on it). They thought the car was oddly fast for a six and they popped the hood and found the 327 in there. Said the dude had been driving it for a while without actually looking under the hood since he wasn't much of a car expert.
>>28768594man. was looking it up and while quora is normally cancer it was fun reading the anecdotes, real or fake>guy ordered an 81 crown vic>gets told the engine factory in windsor, canada is on strike, gets asked if he wants a slightly bigger engine at no extra charge>not really a car guy so meh, why not>dealer apologises on delivery, "it may have firmer suspension than expected"from what the guy described, it seems he may have gotten the police package in an otherwise completely regular looking 81 ltd>"my wife used to have fun squealing the tires by jumping on the accelerator going around corners."then another poster:>70s>helps his dad order a dodge pickup>at dealer, order is placed for 3/4 ton, 4wd, 4 spd manual>dad wanted a 440 in it>dealer says order won't get accepted because biggest engine option was a 4 bbl 383>presumably after much arguing the dealer relents and puts the order in just to see what happens>later get notified that the order is being built but only with a 383>oh well, we tried>dad loves the truck, reckons it has more power than other similar dodge pickups, son figures it's just pride/sunk cost fallacy>15 years later>truck isn't running right, dad dunno what's wrong>son diagnoses problem over phone, possible air leak>dad confirms - intake manifold cracked>goes to nearest dodge dealer for OE replacement>back at home, manifold doesn't fit, too narrow>dealer must've sold him one for a smaller engine>big argument at dealer, they insist the manifold is for a 383>he gives them the vin and block serial number, it all matches for a 383>they give him a manifold for a 440>it fitsi mean yeah those were times where it worked out for them but damn
>>28768449Just read a story from a car magazine where some 50's hot rodder had ordered a new '57 Ford with a manual transmission, and the delivery took months. The dealer was complaining that they couldn't find a manual transmission anywhere. And when the car finally came the guy realized they had installed some crazy rare heavy duty transmission from a Ford's race car on it. + the engine also had a supercharger on it, even though he didn't order one.
Mennonites can only drive black and brown cars. That has to create a little demand.
>>28768828my dad told me of an excommunicated mennonite who had a yellow squarebody with a hog ass cam that got faster every other time that he saw it.
>>28768673generally you couldn't get a big block engine in anything but a long bed 1 ton truck
>>28768449>incorrect badges>Pontiac trim on half the car and Chevy trim on the other half>rust spots on the fenders of a brand new car>dents in the body>passenger seat with different upholstery than the other seatsstuff like that all used to be semi-expected
>>28768828Q) how do you please an Amish woman?A) 2 Mennonite!
>>28768594>>>/his/18238544One wonders how much of this wasn't the line workers deliberately doing this stuff to fuck with the customer.
>>28768966looking at the other replies in that thread it actually all makes sense - not just leaded gas, but also the fact that you have millions and millions of people that have experienced war first hand. and back then, we had nowhere near the knowledge nor awareness of PTSD, so all these damaged people did shit that was considered normal at the time but with what we know now, would be seen as completely unhinged
>>28768966IDK about that but if a foreman or production manager ordered a car you could guarantee the workers would mess it up because they didn't like him.
>>28768921Cars sometimes arrived at dealerships with no oil or coolant in them.
>>28769498can only imagine how bad bong cars would've been
>>28768534Like >>28766757 said, "NPC gray" is gonna be one of those things people in the future will relentlessly make fun of the 2020's for.
>>28768800There were some interesting things bitd.Like if you ordered a 428SCJ with the dragpack you got an engine with solid lifters, but the dealer didn't know that and it wasnt listed in any brochures.Customers started bringing in their cars after 5k-10k miles (depending on how hard they rode it) for lifter tick and thats when they found out.
