I graduated in 1970...my first job paid $15.47/DAY....
These cars were expensive!
In late 1971 I was going to order a 1972 NOVA SS hatchback...$3975.
When I got to the dealer to officially place the order I spotted a used '70 Chevelle(stripes, buckets/cons,H70 redline tires/mags..) on the lot for $3000......drove it home instead!! I was 18 yrs old.
Straight to the g/f's house and then down to the burger strip, Kingsway in Vancouver, to show it off!
Good times...Good times.......

PS That g/f is still my wife...! 40 years!! I guess she liked the car too!
I'm just glad to see that cruising is still alive and better than ever.
I sure ate a lot of burgers back in the day.

I can't believe how the prices of the used cars plummet in only a few years! I wonder how much money we will be making in the future and if we'll ever say, remember when you could get a Corvette for only $80,000?
just thinking a friend of mine could have done the pre delivery on your car. he was a mechanic at golden mile in those days. drove the golden mile impala at dragstrips around 63 - 64. eventually became service manager. his brother ran the body shop.Sitting down, Riley?
Anyone who doesn't think $6,311.55 was a lot of money in those days, think again.
General Motors of Canada Limited reproductions aren't being made (to my knowledge), so this Chevrolet Motor Division - General Motors Corporation repro will have to do.
I don't know the details, but you can get window stickers for Corvettes through the Corvette Museum. Look them up on the internet.
I like how you could order each option individually instead of being limited to a package option.
