Historical car pricing.

January 4, 2008 2:26 PM

Are there any websites that compile historical MSRPs for cars? Like if I wanted to know how much a dude had to pay for a new Camaro in 1979.

I suppose I could piece together this sort of information in by scouring sites like Edmunds, etc.. but I'm lazy and I want one simple source.

Looks like a 1979 Camaro Sport Coupe would set you back $4,676.90, while the all-together more awesome Camaro Z28 Sport Coupe was yours for $6,115.35. (Source.)

The Standard Catalog of American Cars (1946-1975) will give you a clear picture of pricing, number built with various equipment packages and much more. I've worn out 4 copies of this wonderful book.
