The initial plan was to build 50 of the cars for sale, but at an estimated double the price of a standard GT500 there weren’t enough takers and the sole prototype was sold for just $5,000.

Unbelievable! Even I could've come up with $5,000 in 1967. What a bargain that guy got!

I just looked up the median family income in 1967.It was $42,000, far more than I expected. $5,000 was about 9% of average income, so that sure seems affordable. One heck of a deal he got, for sure.

In production, it would have retailed for $7,500. That still wasn’t that much of the average family income for such a high performamce beast. People are willing to pay far more today for performance.
