I have found this through painstaking work. (Not really) And I didn’t organize it because I’m lazy.
Corvette: $4,500-$5,200 depending on engine and spec
Corvette L88 427: $6,500
Porsche 912: $4,700
Porsche 911: $6,490
Lamborghini Miura: $20,000
Ferrari 365 GTB/4: $16,665
Toyota 2000GT: $6,500
Sunbeam Tiger: $3,700
Jaguar E Type: $5,200
Got any more? Toss them in the comments! This fascinates me for some odd reason.

Inflation would be:
20,000 = 159,736.05
16,665 = 133,100.06
6,500 = 51,914.21
5,200 = 41,531
4,700 = 37,537
3,700 = 29,551
2,600 = 20,765.68 (average price of car in 60s)
average household income between 5000 and 10000 = 39,934 to 79,868
*according to completely random Googling.

In today’s dollars (approximately):
Corvette: $33,000 - $38,000
Corvette L88: $48,000
912: 34,500
911: $4,800
Miura: $147,000
365 GTB: $123,000
2000GT: $48,000
Tiger: $27,000
E-Type: $38,000
I set the year on the inflation calculator to 1966 and rounded off the numbers. So very approximate indeed.
As you can see, there’s still a large difference between what you’d pay for a sports car back then, and what you’d pay for one today.
My theory is that we use credit much more freely in this day and age... but I’m no economist, so if anyone actually knows, chime in yo.
