I think the cost of our hobby has gone up faster than inflation. Woodfin's 55 would only cost $9,100 in todays dollars. I don't think it could be done today anywhere near that amount.

"As a side note, if a car cost more than 10 grand, say about $13,000, it is not a dime rocket, it is a $0.13 rocket".

Base price or completed? I purchased my fastback for 12K but to complete a '67 Shelby stocker I'm looking at 45K. I guess that's a $0.45 rocket, not really sure I'm only about half way.
I would say that number is as completed.

If that's the case, then one of my Stockers is a $ 0.110 rocket and hopefully the other (when completed) will be a less than $ 0.125 rocket...
