And I paid $2400 for my '67 G.T.500 in 1977 (the guy wanted $3000, I offered $2000, he was willing to split the difference and I still talked him down another $100!) and my dad paid $3000 for his '66 G.T.350H the next year(1978). When I went to register the '66, the woman at DMV couldn't believe that we had paid that kind of money for a used 12 year old car!
