Goes to show you how the government manipulates the value of the US dollar with their artificially low inflation figures.
Anyone who's older always heard cars are a bargain compared to years ago. Well, it was true at least before Bush 41.
I used what my new Trans Am listed for in 1978 with every option except automatic and T-tops. If you could buy a comparable new Camaro SS for what this calculator shows it would be a huge bargain. About 45% less.
