Trakhak , I think you missed the point . I didn’t pay 1975 price for it . I bought it in 2020 and today , even given the condition, is obtainable for about $1200 or cheaper. This is what we are talking about , the price that you can get a high end Italian bike for that still performs the way it did when it was new for a fraction of the cost of a modern bike . The 1975 Dodge has retained value , vintage road bikes have not. Classic cars like a 1975 Ferrari would sell for a hefty sum , close to what a modern Ferrari would . Bicycles , except for very few , have plummeted in $$ value. Those of us that still ride them enjoy them for what they are but no one is going to spend $8k for a cherry 1975 Colnago Super , not even close!
