You can compare. And think about the price of our Mustangs new.

For this - 1971 would be for our 72 cars... But you get the general idea of costs for common items back then.

My tuition to Arizona State was $160.00 per semester full time (16 credits hrs). In 1973 I was paying 37 cents a gallon ($7.40 tank) to fill up my Mach.

Edit: Attached a pic from 1973, you can barely see the roofline of my Mach behind the top of the 69 Camaro.
