What cost $195 in 1969 would cost $1146.38 in 2010., still a decent deal.

I wonder how long the supply lasted.

That $195 adjusted for inflation, would be $1,200.63 today, so the engine kit was a bargain, but not the steal it would seem.

The $5.00 R1 cams would be $30.79 in today's dollars, so I'd buy a few of those, please.

However, $1080 in 1941, adjusted for inflation is only $16,601.44 today, making the new car seem somewhat more of a bargain.

Or, for $195 in 1969 you could have bought 4 shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock, and today trade those 4 shares* for the best 4 Avantis on the planet with money left over.

* As of July 1, $117,050/share

I'd just like to go back far enough to keep some of the Studebakers I let get away from me.(and 1 Dodge) NT
