Default Re: Sticks to auto's on new Cobra Jets?

I was thinking about this today trying to remember what I paid for each.
I believe the 69 was about $2900. I know it was less than $3000 for a brand new car!!!
Hard to believe. I do remember it did not get built before the strike in late 68 when it was ordered. I do remember the date I picked it up. It was January 23, 1969 when I drove it away. I was in my cousins wedding that day also and he is still married to the same gal. It must have been a good day.
The 1970 model cost about $3300 if I remember correctly. I thought the price increase in one year was outrageous but I still ordered and got it in about a month after it was ordered.
Both of those cars were fun and I have a lot of memories with them.
Just wish I still owned them but back then they were just not that special except for the solid lifter engines. There were lots of muscle cars around and lots of street racing going on.
The Good Ole Days
