You are totally nuts. A gallon of gas, a magazine, a
paperback, a
pack of cigs, a six pack, were all a quarter in 1964. A
.Colt 1911
.45 pistol was $62.50. Levi's were $2.25.

Go check it your self , they're all over $6.00

Go check what? My point was that the factor of six figure
was bogus.
What am I supposed to check? That gas and cigs were a
quarter in 64?
I was there.

The $6.83 figure is accurate.

Sure it is. As you would have it, not 6.82 or 6.84.

Come back when you have something not prima facie bogus.
