Automotive Trivia

The tire store technician was the first to tell the used car lot owner that the '67 Mustang GT and '86 SVO Mustang he had just bought at auction were not authentic. What might might have tipped the technician off about both cars?

A. Neither car had the original supercharger.
B. Both cars' wheels used four lug nuts.
C. Both cars had disc brakes.

B and A

I am gonna vote for just B, since The SVO & MarkVII were the only Fox body cars that I know of that had 5 lug, and all of the 60s Mustangs had five lug wheels.

B it is....

Neither car had superchargers, no tip there.

Both cars had disc brakes, 67 GT on the front only, no tip there

but.....

Both cars should be 5 lug.

A 67 GT would have been a V8 and all 60's Mustangs V8's had 5 lugs. 6 cylinder cars got 4 lugs.

Oh Yeah, I forgot that they made anything but V8s in the 60s…….my bad

OK, but since that was a very small slip of the memory, I will only do a small short time self-ban…..LOL
