A car that was $3000 40-60 years ago is today's $40,000 car, it's called inflation. FTR I have two cars that cost $40,000 when new; one is an '89 and the other a '93. This makes your statement false. Additionally the average car is 15 years old, disputing your statement further.

I'd say it's more like 10 years old.

That still doesn't mean I or anyone else paid that for it. I am a second owner to mine. I bought it for $4,000 bucks a basket case. It's worth close to $25,000 now.

That's what all the Subbie, Civic guys say when they get their doors blown off. Trust me...I haven't run any canyons yet and neither have they.

Although a 1st Gen handles very very well. That's why Mr. Shelby picked it in the first place.
