I bought my little old H-code a just over a year ago and had it for a week before it went in for some body restoration that was completed about 10 days ago. So for the past year all I've been reading and hearing is how unpopular 71 to 73 stangs are and especially H-codes. Reading and hearing all the negativity about these cars was making me wonder if I was putting time and money into a car that nobody really likes except those that own them, and the fact that mine is only a modded H-code with a shinny hood would make it even worse lol. Needless to say I was anxious to see how well it would be accepted among the general public. Well after taking it straight over for a front end alignment I went for gas. The response was overwhelmingly positive with people blowing their horns, yelling "nice car", giving thumbs up etc. Since then I've entered it into one parade and two car shows getting the same response. I could be wrong, but my impression is that although they might not be as popular as 69-70's, they are a lot more popular after all these years than a lot of people give them credit for. I was just wondering if any, or many of you have been experiencing the same reaction from people as you're cruising the countryside. For those of you who are starting, or are in the middle of your restoration, I think you will be very pleased with the positive reaction you get from people when it's completed.
