Thread: Lamborghini Miura for $18,000. :D

I was at a friends house and he had some old "Popular Mechanics" magazines and found this article I thought you'd enjoy. It's a 1967 model.

I love seeing articles like this! $18,000 is almost humorous!

Damn!!! I'll have 3

Nice find

what is the price nowdays? and what is the price in todays money?

I sooo wished i was born and the 80's and didn't age.

How desperate can someone be to sell such a car in such a humiliating price??? For **** sake c'mon..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^The ad. is probably from around 1966/'67 since it says "production begins this fall "

And 18,000$ back then should be equal to around $120k today.

But still great find! I really like looking at old magazines and try to get a glimpse of what life was like back then.

At the time of that article:

Gasoline was about $0.27/gallon US
American cars like the Camaro, Cyclone, etc, were going for only $2500

The Miura is 7.5x more than a larger American sedan. To put that into perspective, the average BMW 3 series is about $30-40K.

7.5x that is 225,000 - 300,000 - A Ferrari F458 optioned out, or a Lambo L640 optioned out fit into that same ball park, so not much has changed in the game of exotics.

As said before, this was back in 1966 in Popular Mechanics. I did a brief search and these MSRP'd for only around $13K actually.

Went to the NADA sight to see what they're going for now (only 764 were built mind you) and the pricing ranges from $186,600 at the low end, and $370,000 at the high end.

Would really liked to see this in person:
