And just think you could have got any 65 Shelby built car (GT350, 289 Cobra, or 427 Cobra) for between $4,000-$7,500 new.
My family had a car dealership in the 70’s. Chrysler Plymouth. They were giving Superbirds away for $3K. They couldn’t get them off the lot. Now $250K for one in running condition.
From the net:
“$4,000 in 1965 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $35,294.98 today”
Although $35k for a Cobra today would still be a great price I would think. (Paid that much for a minivan 10 years ago!)
