Ahh, but we must remember. These prices were all before the "misery index" of both double digit inflation and unemployment here in the U.S.A. The good times, they were about to change. Also, historic racing wasn't the big deal of tall dawgs seeing who could pee highest up the fire hydrant that it is now...Back in the 60's? I was dumb enough to think that cars and Rock music would forever get better...Quote:

Using the inflation calculator, a $7,000 car in 1969 would cost about $37,000 today -- so their prices have gone up in real dollars (some of that will be exchange rates, tho).
You can see the third and I guess only surviving edition of this car in the Deutches Museum in Munich. I saw it when I was there in 1970. As I remember, it was still there when I was back in the heimatland 2000. I'm surprised Porsche hasn't grabbed it back for the new museum in Stuttgart.
