$2387.24 for a new 68 with a 2bbl 289.
Retail price was $2898.52.My parents bought a new car every 3-5 years in this era and always paid by the month.I still remember the little coupon books they used in which they sent in a payment with the large coupon, keeping the small stub in the book.If you divide today's car prices by 10, do the same with houses and salary, things haven't changed that much.But, other than the 289, this thing is a real stripper.
Damn...I need to ask for a raise in salary!
A new car today costs $31,252 while that 1975 car adjusting for inflation would cost $16,578.In other words I was too low on what a car costs today -- a car was much more affordable back then than today.
