$3000 in 1969?

In February of 1980 my dad bought a 72 340 car (all original with 66k miles off a Plymouth Dealership lot for 1530.00. At just about any lot today anything with 66k miles on it will cost you no less than 5500.00 I figure.

Time passes by and we all soon forget how much inflation changes the game in this country. If you are making 50k a year in 2016 and a single income with a small Mortgage and small Car Payment you are just barely keeping your head above water....
