My FIRST one, when I returned from Vietnam, was a 5 year old '65 FB in
mint condition which cost me, with financing, $1069, had the below
except for A/C and it was only a 2V. And this one.... is it only 10
times? I thought it was MUCH more.... LOL... Actually, I "think" (I
have not tallied all the receipts yet) it's only somewhere between 5
and 7 times.... not counting the aggravation...

Hey Spike:

Your stang is a beauty. Cannot believe that in 1 year and I bet a lot of
dough, you converted this stang from rags to cash.

Thanks. Actually, it would have taken a lot less time... and probably
a lot less money... Live and learn... often the hard way.

Cool. Got something similar from Pontiac Historical Services about my
Poncho. I was pleasantly SHOCKED that that info was avail several
decades later!

But keep in mind inflation, Spike.

$3211 1966 dollars is about $19,000 in 2005 dollars.

And that $283 A/C system costs more than a GPS navigation system in 2005
dollars!

Which is why I said "nostalgia" LOL : 0 ) Back then we had gas for
20 cents a gallon... and still got full service, stamps, and

In 1970 I returned from Vietnam and bought a mint condition 1965
Mustang Fastback, 289 2V, C4 auto, power steering and brakes, for
$1,069 WITH the financing charges included. I sold that car to get
married.... : 0 ) My cousin still drives it, and the marriage went
bust after 13 years.

Wonder what the collector cars of the future will be? The 2005
Mustang? Scion? Hummer?
