of my brand new 1978 Camaro. Went all out. No A/C, no Power Windows or Door Locks, and no radio. Although I did have them install the antenna in the windshield ahead of time. All for the total cost of $4840.00. I just paid more for my 65" Samsung.

$4840 in 1978 = $16800 in 2011....still a bargain!

Not sure about the garage since that was not my house but the photo was taken in good old Newark NJ back in 1978. Congratulations on being the first person to ask such a relevant question.

My first car was a 1981 Camaro with a 267 Cubic Inch V8. Last of the 2nd gen body style. What a POS that car was!
