Re: 1968 Super Stock Magazine Nationals
For those who want to know,
In 1968, Dick Arons was 'wheeling' a 1967 Camaro SS-396 'Convertible' in SS/F. The 'Butternut Yellow' - 1967 Camaro {396/325 HP} gave Dick added weight over the rear-wheels, and also put him SS/F, as opposed to SS/E with the Camaro SS-396 'Coupe'. Here in 1968, Dick Arons and Wally Booth are battling Dave Strickler in his 1968 Z-28 Camaro, also classed in SS/F.

Re: 1968 Super Stock Magazine Nationals
And as I recall the window sticker in the northeast area was $4400 list. (around $4200 dealer invoice) Even better there were several dealers around the country who needed the factory zone office to help unload one they had ordered and couldn't sell! Right before that time the factory was selling left over brand new complete 426 max wedge engines with transmission (choice of stick or automatic) for the closeout dealer net price of $1650.00

Re: 1968 Super Stock Magazine Nationals
Jim: $1750. in 1968 equates to $12,121.56 today
It's just harder to make and easier to spend now. |
