Or my 65 T-Bird that the PO's brother installed glass-packs on and used a
church key to make the car sound better. Dumb blond doper surfer would say
every time "You ruined my work. It sounded righteous". My response was less
than ladylike. ;) Well off to work I go. The person before me left a Project
in such a mess, I now have multiple trade contracts to reconcile.
Safe and Happy Roadstering

Congrats on the resto progress! I think Harley Davidson did try to
patent or trademark the sound but were unable to. You can't patent a
stumbling idle, apparently. Just think, you bring your 1964 Dodge
Dart into the shop running on two cylinders, the muffler dragging,
and you're slapped with a trademark infringement suit by Harley . ;-)
