From what I recall from my old car mags, a new '65 Mustang would run you $1750ish
Going back to 1928 when my dad's parents got married, they bought a "house" that is little more than a shed, 12x20 feet, one room, no electricity, no running water or sewer of course, near the Armor and Company meat packing plant. They paid $50. It is the house where my dad was born.

In 1974 when I bought my 1974 914 2.0 that I custom ordered it was $6,750 out the door. They tried to sell me AC and that was a full grand more. I declined. I paid it off in two years.

For sure that Jag E type ended up at the perfect place. It was repaired and made to run, and kept as original as possible. Jay has an amazing collection, and he shares it with the world with his show.
