Geoff Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
