If one adjusts for inflation, a base 1967 Z/28 retailed for just over $23,000 in 2013 dollars, which is just a bit less expensive than the MSRP of a base 2014 Z/28 is likely to be. Of course, a 2014 Z/28 is a much more sophisticated and superior vehicle than the 1967 Z/28 was.

In 1967 Chevrolet sold 602 Z/28s. It will be interesting to see how many 2014 Z/28s will actually be sold. I guess that it will be more than 602.
Bear, I swear to God I just saw this post. Consider a wander over to the HouZe for my version of what you so well-said, here...
