'64 850 in early '66 (before 16/02/1966) = $8396. (half its value in 2 years)
'62 850 in '65 = $7661. (this one retained better value) :wink:

Hours of fun.......... :roll: 8) Play here:http://www.rba.gov.au/calculator/calc.go

AHHHH ...... Neptune , Golden Fleece, COR, Ampol and you could buy them all from the same service station along with Caltex, Shell and BP

As a six year old I remember being hussed up and ushered out of the way when I ask the local block how come he had all those pumps and only three filling holes in the ground :roll:
