In 1962, an original cobra was about $6-7K which equals to about $50-55K today. So $50K should get u into the driver's seat for a simple go fast fun hot rod.........................

Better check your math, in 1962 a base Corvette was $4038. $6-7k is 40% on top of that...........A lot of money in 1962.

As a comp: I know in 1961 my uncle bought his first home in the West End (good section) of Allentown. A new 1800 sqft all brick ranch single for $11,000.
