I've been scanning and archiving my old magazines. Most of it relates to mid/late 60s Porsche Prototypes, but I found this old issue of AutoWeek from 1967 that might have broader appeal:

Typical ads: the Cobra for $3500 and a Ferrari GTB for $8500... "When I was a little goil, you could getta frankfurter for 10 cents and a Hershey was a nickle!"

Enjoy!

If that one doesn't work try this one:

I have some late 60's Hot Rod magazines that have some vintage classified ads that will make you want to invent a time machine. If I could go back in time and tell my dad to save some of the cars he's sold off through the years...

We recently found an ad that we placed back in 1974, we had 3 of the 1973 IROC 911 RSR cars for sale at one time...

When you consider that in 1967 the average household earned $8000, that's a lot of money.

I "bought back" my military time so it would count toward my current retirement. TOTAL income over four years was $18,000. That's $4500/year!

Hardly beer money now.

have to remember the times. back in 1972, my parents bought their home in Ocean City NJ... on the water.. for $15,000. Before the market crash, that house had been on the market for almost half a mil (no, my parents sold it 20 years ago)

Really? I click on it and it goes to a "download me" page. Is it broken for everyone? If so, what a good, free, no-register, file sharing site?
