But while Camaro cost 3000 , minimum wage was only 1.60 an hour back then. Price was cheaper but people made a lot less money too. It's not like you could buy the car with 3000 in today's money.

In the 1960's a Camero cost around $3000 in today's inflated currency that would be around $40,000. Now is that so very cheap? In the 1960's I was in my 20's The top pay I made was $1.35 per hour. Figure out how many hours you would have to work to pay for a $3000 car.

Good point. People talk of the past, say how cheap things were, but never talk about how people's corresponding paychecks were so much smaller as well.

I was one of those jerks making $1.65 an hour right up to the day I went to work on the railroad.
When I went to work for UP it was 1972 and I got $5.66 an hour and I thought that I'd won the lottery!
I've never made more in actual spending power than those first 6 months on the job.
I still lived in my parent's basement and ate their food so I had virtually zero financial obligations. My whole paycheck went right into my bank account.
My friend's were all still making under $2 an hour so what I had working for Uncle Pete more money than I knew what to do with, I was friggin rich.
I went down to my credit union and bought that brand new muscle car. Back then the only collateral I needed was my job on the railroad before they lent me the money at 3% interest.
So yes, I'd love to go back to the late 60's to early 70's.
