>Cars your dad almost bought in the 1980s for $13,000 edition
More like 13,000 Ostmark and more like actually bought. Could be wrong on the price though.

A story about missing an opportunity like a 250GT Pininfarina for 13,000 is more entertaining than the story of a average bloke buying a trabant

>le muh dad paid 3k for a hemi cuda in the 70s
13k was a shitton of money in the 80s bro. Fuck that car and look at what 13k would have done in Apple. I don't get why people don't understand inflation.

13k in 1980 are 39k now. 13k in 1985 are 29k now. It's not a lot of money for a 250GT. I doubt 39k can even buy you a Ferrari these days, and if they do it'll be a fucking Mondial.

>t. moron missing the point

I'd laugh past that shitbox 250 in my F1 desu senpai.

If you bought 6500 shares of Apple when it was $2 AND held the same stock for 30 years it would be like $51,000,000 today after all the splits. But buying Apple stock in the 80s and hanging on to it for 30 years is the investing equivalent of buying a Hemi Cuda in the 70s for 3k. Nobody had any idea Apple would take off and nobody knew Hemi Cudas would be so expensive

Then what's the point of this thread? 13k was "a lot of money" back then for an old car.

My dad bought John A. Davidson's 1982 FXRS prototype for $12,000.00 back in 1985 or 1986. I declined an offer for $125,000.00 for it back in 2003.

Why is Sammy Hagar the classic car GOAT of rock music?

SHE'S ON FIREEEEEEEEEEE
