I paid $2765 total for my ‘64 ‘Stang rag top w/4 on the floor. What a beautiful car! It was that nice red!

Inflation Calculator If in 1964 I bought an item for $ 2765 then in 2016 that same item would cost: $21,001.80 Cumulative rate of inflation change: 659.6%

Of course you have to compare salaries at the time and what the car was equipped with. I bought my first new car in 1980, a Toyota Corolla with just an FM radio for 5000. I was making 180 dollars a week. I bought a Honda Fit in 2009 with everything in it for a little over 15000. Happily, I make more than 3 times my 1980 salary now.
