I bought one when I returned from Viet Nam in 1970. I paid $5,285.00 in cash. I bet this new one is a bit more expensive. What do you think. I know.....I know...I think the same thing often. Wish I still had the red 1970 rag top vet. :-(

Well, I think that if you run the numbers and adjust for 43 years of inflation, especially the Jimmy Carter era, you will find that the new vette may be a bit less expensive. Even though it has a bunch more bells and whistles. It’s kinda like “I remember 25 cent gas back in the 60’s”. But, I also remember working for about $1.00 per hour back in the day. Just saying :)

hah, I bought a 1967 hardtop for $3500 in 1969 when i returned. 427 cu. in. 435 hp. Man, if I could have somehow been able to afford to keep and maintain that car.

Of course, finding good gas even in 69-70 was sometimes tricky with that beast.
