You'd think that paper money is paper money, regardless of the amount printed on it, but that's not the case. According to the Federal Reserve, it costs 5.5¢ to make a $1 or $2 bill, but approximately 11¢ to make fives, tens, 20s, and 50s. But $100 bills cost 14.2¢ each to manufacture.

Not sure if they lifted the hood of the 1966 Fairlane GT-X at MCACN, but if they did you would have seen a factory installed 427 4V which was not an option on the 66 Fairlane GT. It would become one for the 1967 model year.

We had a track like that here when I was a lid. I wasn't old enough at the time to get to play on it, but I watched my uncle do it.

Exactly. I haven't made a car payment since 1970. 33 bucks a month for my 57 Chevy.
If I can't pay cash, I don't buy it.

Not necessarily true,back in May of 1989,I ordered a brand new IROC Camaro.
GMAC was offering 2.9% financing,while my savings account was paying me 6.5% interest.
I had the full car amount in cash,but chose to finance the entire amount because of that Low 2.9%,while earning 3.1% bank interest on the same amount.

while I have been very fortunate and always paid in full for every vehicle I buy without financing, before my dad passed I reminded him of his teachings and asked him to explain why it wasn't a smart move to take advantage of gm's zero financing. of course he says it is just a ploy that they have just raised the price to compensate that and you can get a better deal to opt out of it. lol he was probably right.

If you take into account inflation converting 1963 dollars into 2019 dollars = $22,000.
