Consider this:

 

Shelby Cobra 289 listed for an MSRP of $5995 in its hey-day.

 

Jag E-Type coupe,  IIRC, listed for $5495.

 

An up-market Sting Ray listed at slightly less than the Jag

 

Not much changed, price-wise, between '65 and '69.

 

At the time of its launch, there was very little available between a base Corvette and a Triumph TR or similar. The Z fit very nicely in the gap. It made the Brit sports cars irrelevant (except to ex-pat Brits) and didn't need (or want) to compete with the Corvette..  At least, not at the time.  The arrival of the ZX reflected changing times and changing Nissan corporate ambitions.

$4,106 plus $75 dealer prep for a grand total of $4,181.  It doesn't mention the spoilers or the A/C.  Maybe another shop did that work?  I wonder why for "Model" both say "296"?

Yes - $4106.00..your window sticker is more legible..

 

Dealer installed accessories were included on the New Car Sale Order. Many times the Dealers put a secondary Price Sheet in the windows of the cars, beside the required Manufacturers Window Sticker. On that secondary Price Sheet they listed the costs of the additional accessories. A/C and spoilers would have been on the Sales Order for sure..

 

FWIW,

Thank you Mr Beck. Makes perfect sense now. I've only bought new Exmark mowers, never a brand new car.

Maybe someday?
