[QUOTE="overboard, post: 265982, member: 6547"] just out of curiosity in 1967 I went to a local ford garage and priced a 427 cobra. If my memory is correct, the price was $6,800.00. that was one heck of a pile of money back then. just to put it into perspective: my "66" 427 425 hp. impala listed for $3,800, and a 426 HEMI car could be bought for app. $4,200. I think the "bare bones" L-72 biscayne could be bought for around $2,800. these prices don't sound like much today, but minimum wage in 1966 was $1.25 an hr. and good money was $3-$4 per hr. I started at Beth. steel in 1970 @ $2.64 per hr.. think I cleared $188, and $192 every 2 wks. the $4.00 difference was union dues. GUESS I'M SHOWING MY AGE ON THIS ONE :wink: [/QUOTE]
