The more things change ,the more they stay the same - relatively.
But you can't put a price on brand spanking new.

Hey, great link for us math challenged folks!
I guess early esses really ARE undervalued!!!

$1,279.00 in today's dollars for the gasoline-fired heater. That actually doesn't seem all that unreasonable if you look at the numbers on a luxury car's window sticker option list nowadays.

Jack, you said a mouthful! Two days ago, Cindy & I were at a Chrysler dealer...thinking of a Dodge Magnum for Cindy as a grocery hauler. The one they had on the lot with a (laughingly called) "hemi" was LOADED with options, some, like the sunroof, I wasn't at all interested in. I mean, it rains in Oregon, not to mention the unneeded weight up high, especially since all of them come with air! But the "option" that made us walk? "added dealer markup" of $2.5K. Ah gee...guess I'll let somebody else in this podunk town sucker for that one. Guys who drive around L.A.? How many magnum wagons do you see sitting on dealer lots?

According to a 1966 model year options list, you could get a "Complete genuine leather upholstery" for $212.50.

In 1999, converted that to $1,130.62.

At about that time, Autos International would have charged about $ 1,200 extra for a leather--instead of vinyl--interior.

$10,250 for an S in '73. In 2003 dollars, $43K and change. Sounds about right.

Just for another reference from '73 the base Carrera RS Sport (M471) was also priced about $10,200 and the Touring (M472) was $11,000. The RSR (M491) was priced about $24,000 according to the Red Book.
