Replying to: uplanderguy (Dec 23, 2007 2:09 pm) People couldn't believe at the time that the window sticker was actually (yes, this is at the BOTTOM of the sticker), $2,625.00.   Was that good or bad? Replies to this message: uplanderguy (Feb 28, 2008 9:46 am)

The car had Rally Wheels, whitewalls, the extra exterior moldings which made it look like a much-more expensive Nova, but the six, stick, no power steering or brakes kept the window sticker down.   Bill

sounds like it would've been dirt cheap for that time period! My grandparents bought a well-equipped 1975 Dodge Dart Swinger hardtop, and I think it stickered for close to $5,000! That's about what my Mom's '75 LeMans coupe stickered for as well, which I never could figure out. A midsize coupe with a 350 V-8 for roughly the same price as a slant six compact?   I think my dearly departed '69 Dart GT hardtop stickered for about $3600, but it had air conditioning, which boosted the price quite a bit. And I'm sure the GT trim package was a couple hundred more than just a regular hardtop. Replies to this message: bumpy (Feb 29, 2008 1:00 pm)

Replying to: andre1969 (Feb 29, 2008 11:42 am) I vaguely recall that the sticker on the Citation (V6 auto) was around $6,000 in April 1979 dollars. I do know that a 1992 SE-R was just under $12,000 new.

just looked in my old car book, and it looks like the base MSRP for a '75 Dart Swinger hardtop was $3518. A base LeMans 2-door was $3590. So I guess that explains why my Mom's LeMans and grandparents' Dart were so close in price.   My book also lists the cheapest '74 Nova at $2811 for the 6-cyl coupe. It's amazing how bad inflation was back then. In '73, the same Nova was only $2377!   I'm still surprised that my '69 Dart GT managed to MSRP for around $3600. The base price was $2672. But I guess just between a/c and the automatic transmission, that was probably good for about $600-650. It also had a vinyl roof, 3-speed electric wipers, a tinted windshield, AM radio, the 225 slant six (versus standard 170), and power steering, all of which were optional. Heck, I think even 14" rims might have been optional!
