$4000 bucks???? HOLY CHIT!!!!!! i knew cars were inexpensive back then compared to now days but dam!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE YOU FOR 5 MINUTES!!!
$4000 was a fair amount of money in 1970. After the folks realized they had handed a chimpanzee a loaded gun, that car was replaced by a '71 Volvo 142- $3150 brand new, out the door. The Volvo was replaced in '73 by a BMW 2002. About $3600, brand new and delivered at the factory in Munich.
On the other hand, $30-40,000 would buy a decent house in most parts of the country back then too.
