Here's a little trivia in response to the above:
A 1964 356C Porsche SC Coupe, POE Teaneck, NJ, listed for $4.750.00*
Although that Porsche looks pretty cheap thirty-seven years after the
fact....not too many "normal people" could really afford to pay $4,750.00 for
a mid-range sports car. MGB's and TR4s were selling for $2,000 less, while
the Aston Martins and Ferraris were "only" selling for $7,500.00 more!
Yikes.... I'll take a half a dozen 275GTBs ...and put them away for a rainy
day! Perhaps the real measuring stick is that 100 octane, leaded gas was
$.40 a gallon....
