'68 Ford LTD and $4900 for a '70 914-6? Sounds like the right decision to me too.

That had me wondering "what would that be today?"...

CPI is always fun to calculate... smart trade, hope you still have the car! Pics please!

That LTD is probably ferrous dust by now.

At the time, I was making 3.00 an hour.
Inflation makes that sound better..

No and No…

Haven’t really touched it in years..
I’d really rather not put the original engine
back in it if I can help it..
I’d rather throw in an engine I wouldn’t mind
blowing up as much as the original..

Your trade reminds me of the joke, “I got this Porsche for my husband. Best trade I ever made.”
