I did the same comparison with the bugeye's price of $1795 and in today's money it would be $15k. I don't know what car you could buy for that today and would guess a modern day bugeye would be around $23k-$25k. This just probably shows that the cost of cars as a percentage of income has increased and we pay more up front for increased safety, mileage, lower emissions and increased longevity.<div><br></div><div>Rick Neville</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 12:02 PM, i erbs <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eyera3000@gmail.com" target="_blank">eyera3000@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr">was curious how much healey cost in today's money<div><img src="cid:ii_15b1ff38b4562ddb" alt="Inline image 1" width="419" height="290"><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_5809426106814857714m_7080565798044405095gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Ira Erbs<div>Portland,OR</div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> _______ _______</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (______ \____1959 BN4____/ _______)</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (_________________________)</span></div><div> BT7 engine and disk brakes</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments.
