Ahhh....I remember those days. I was only a teenager then. Could not talk dad into the nice '69 4 speed Hemi Roadrunner for $10,500obo or the '68 Charger 383 4speed for $2,500. Were those adds out of Old Car Trader? Even without money I used too tear those things apart looking for Mopars.

He did pick up a nice orange/black 1970 Boss 302 Mustang around that timeframe at an auction for $2,500 though. Ford or not that was a cool looking car.

Some guy scanned the ads from some old Auto Traders on this site: http://www.thepontiactransampage.com/oldforsale.html It's a Pontiac site but I grabbed all the Mopar stuff he had.

It sure would be nice buying Mopars for those prices....

[41husk]

Heck I would like to be able to go back 10 years and buy at those prices

Auto Trader prices have always been high. If those same ads were in a newspaper, they would have more than likely been much cheaper.

Still, I wouldn't quibble over those prices today!

[BigBlockSam]

at that time i didn't have $2500   

[MoparYoungGun]

Wow , I wish I was around back then!

Here are a few for sale adds. The first 3 adds are from a local car classified magazine called Auto Buyer from about 1979. Pictures 4 and 5 are for sale adds out of Hemming Motor News from about 1978 - '80 or so.

[TruckDriver]

The bottom 3 are out of a local Auto Buyer Magazine from Sept 18 1990

 OK!..  YOU CAN STOP NOW!!!!

dang!

makes me wanna

This is killing me! Two '69s for $3,200?! I'm surprised how cheap the E-bodies were going for back then. They seem to have really outpaced the B-bodies in value big time.

a fdaytona for 6 grand, you gotta be kidding me

[Wakko]

Look at it in perspective.  You can buy a '92 Z28 Camaro fairly inexpensively right now.  Are any of you jumping to go get one?  Nope.  And in 20 years, it'll probably worth some good money and you'll kick yourself for not buying it.  :::Shrug::: Remember, people HATED the winged warriors when they were new.

I can remember buying a 440 h.p. from a junk yard in '86 out of the back of a super bee trunk for $25 and the guy argued with me over it being a buick 420!Those were the days!Anybody else remember when junkyards had bitchin deals?

[Silver R/T]

ahh the amazing 80's
