Default what WAS it worth

i'm drafting up a display board for my 2nd june 1972 coupe
and was wondering what it would have cost back when it was bought new

std 350 auto, sunflower yellow, std interior equipped with,
ac, pb, ps, pw, tt, stereo radio, with a cali smog pump and luggage rack

unfortunately haven't found a build sheet anywhere
so any idea how much i was worth '72?

Build sheet wouldn't tell you anything on prices. Black book and other sources list the pricing for base car and options. No resource around to tell of shipping costs that I know of.

I still have the window sticker and original bill of sale for my 73 , selling price with pretty much the same options was $7,400.00 plus tax.

From '72 thru 1982, inflation was pretty high and each year the car prices jumped significantly. So, I would stay with your year, if you need to be accurate.

Use the Black Book for pricing and quantities of order for your given year, it's a great source.

I made a similar display board that I use in the windshield when showing my car that contains a lot of the same info and it's always fun to hear people's comments. On the opposite side I have a matching what's been done to the car "RestoMod" board.

That's quite a wide range of trivia for the year 1970.

Great job on the display board.
