$5995.00 was base 289 price. The car was a "bargain" compared to say, a Ferrari at the time ($12.000). You could buy a full size Ford in 1963 for $2,000, a new Caddy was around $4,000.00 and a Vette was about the same. So what do you buy today for three times a Camry price (say $25,000, i.e. $75,000) that is equal? Makes a nice SPF for mid 50s look pretty good. And if you compare a GT40 then/now allowing for inflation they are a STEAL today!
