Guys,

I just bought a 1970 Dodge truck price guide, and it says that a 1970 W100 with a 8' sweptline bed and a winch (no other options) would have sold for $3.521.30.

I found a currency converter, and in 2004 dollars that is $15,720.09!

I sold such a truck last year for $2,100, and in 1970 dollars that is $470.40.

Any way you look at it, that truck lost value! :-)

I just thought it was neat to see what the dollars looked like when compared to todays costs.

Eric
