Nice original '68 Riviera on evilBay - not mine ! :TU: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=280200325354&rd=1
I saw it too, Randy. If it was not clear on the other site of the world from me it would be interesting to have a looksee.
Amazing how expensive those cars were back then. Sticker on it was $6000. bear in mind that you could buy a well equipped Chevy Impala for less than half the price. What a nice looking design:TU: I wish I had one.......wait a minute, I think I have one buried in a garage somewhere....
Oh man, that's a nice Riv! Drool. I love the color of the interior. :TU: Out of curiosity I plugged $5912.69 into an inflation calculator and in 2007 dollars it would be $36,344.35 Sounds about right.
You could also look at it like this- In 1968, you could buy a Cobra Jet Mustang fastback for $3600. The sticker on my 68 Riv was $6300. In 2007, we paid 35,000 for a Mustang GT convertible. So a Riv would have to be roughly around 61,000 in todays money if you use the same price ratio. Give or take a couple thousand.
I remember my Father saying that the 2 new Mustangs he bought in 1967 (one for Mom, one for my sister) where about $2,000.00 each. :shock: Man, I wish I could pick up a new car for that today. Especially since the Park Ave. wouldn't fire this morning. :af: It's on my $h*t list today.
$13,550 BIN for a nice clean original turnkey car - a real bargain ! Trust me, . . . it would cost you more than that to restore one. :beer :TU:
