My first full time job in 1964 paid $58.00 per week. I shared an apartment with two others and we split the $35.00 per month rent. Plate lunches at the restaurant by my job were under $1.00. My first new car, a 1970 340 Dodge Dart, cost $3,200 and I still have the invoice.
I paid my parents $500 for their 1966 Dodge Dart with a 225cc 'slant 6' engine.
At one time, I had the ledger page he used to keep track of my payments.
