It's interesting how Americans get so upset about "high" gasoline prices. When I bought my Cobra in 1968 gas was 36 cents per gallon. A new cobra was $7800. A 427 engine was $700. So now folks are upset that gas is around $2.00 per gallon. A rebuilt 427 engine is about $12000. The Holley 780 carb I purchase in 1968 was $35. I just bought another for over $400.

So why do folks get so upset?
