Avanti #28!

[mfg]

Before the #28 Twenty Four Hour of Daytona Avanti race car was built, Steve Blake figured  the ‘in house’ construction cost would be approx ……?…….

1) $9,000…..2) $13,000…3) $17,000… or…..4) $22,000

Interesting! I'm going to guess the factory could have done it for [2] $13,000.

If the above figures are 1981 dollars, in 2024 those amounts equate:
1) $31,106 … 2) $44,931 … 3) $58,756 … 4) $76,037

I would think a factory could build a tube frame road race car for $44k today. At least, I would hope so anyway.

$13K…..That’s the correct figure!

And great analysis!
