Same here. In about 1971 or so I talked to Harry Luzader who had a mint 32 Ford D/Altered car that he was selling to build an Opel (I think) drag car. He wanted $ 6,000 sans engine and transmission, and I thought that price as stupid high. That 32 has recently been named one of the 75 most influential Deuces of all time, and is probably worth a LOT!
But in 1971 $ 6,000 to me was like $ 50,000 would be today.

Don just for price perspectives, a 1969 Mustang new in 1969 went for 1,995.00 My mom bought one then, and said for about 1000.00 more you could get one of those Shelby Mustangs! Look at the difference in value today. Your right 7k then was outrageous! Nice Car Bob I glad to see they are still available."

Steve, there's probably one over in Santa Rosa or there abouts right now, just need to keep a sharp eye out. This one was discovered by the buyer's son-in-law when he was doing some power line repair and spotted a bit of the fender behind some boxes in a garage.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
