When I finally perfect my time travel car hauler, I’m going back and buying all kinds of factory hot rods.

Great idea based on the prices of the cars selling at Mecum Kissimmee this weekend!
A 70 LS6 vert Chevelle sold for $350K.

1963 is a little early for me, but by '65, I was buying hot rod magazines. I had an older cousin who bought a new GTO that year and drove it with cheater slicks all summer and talked about street racing in St Paul. I got my license in May of '68 and would drive my Honda 350 to the St. Paul loop on Friday/Saturday night, where the action was with a hundred muscle cars. So fortunate I got to live thru the hey days of the muscle cars.

Just that pesky problem with dated currency and making time travel possible.

Bitch of it is that in '63... $2800 was just as hard to come by as the $30K equivalent today...
$30K would buy a REALLY NICE house in '63

We need to get that time machine working. Take a ride back, buy all seven for 19K; Minnesota didn't even have a sales tax then. Can't even guess what the value would be today. But the ten would draw a crowd at Farmington's MOPARS In the Park.
