That's still more cash than I have on hand, but seemed low as compared to the 70 model. I reckin I'm just not up on the auction scene. But it seems like it would be fun to be able to sit around and buy any car you happened to like when it comes thru. It seems rather odd that I was able to buy a brand new RA3 goat while earning only $1.50 per hour, but now, 40+ years later, I couldn't touch a clean example of that same car.

American musclecars were built so that most any young buck with a job could buy one. Now they are reserved for rich guys, with lots of play money.
yup..this is what sucks about today and also why i lament not being born 20 to 25 yrs earlier..anyone in the car hobby wishes that IMO....
