Expensive radio!

Lou's invoice adjusted for inflation (CPI Inflation Calculator):
                                                1973   =>    2016
Europa TCS                             $6345  => $33,884
Mag Wheel &  low profile tire    $295    => $1,575
AM/FM radio                            $175    => $935
5 spd trans                              $375    => $2,003


What you should do is run the numbers for the sale/list price of the TC/TCS along side the "JPS" TCS adjusted for inflation.  Then you'll see how that little round numbered badge justifies the premium pricing for one today.
