Quoted from DakotaMike:The Addams Family "Thing" mech would disagree with you… $329 ….
You can’t compare the aftermarket price of a part ….
Williams made 20,000 of those. Probably cost them like $25 at the time.
If you built an Addams Family from scratch using Marco parts at retail, it would probably cost you $80,000 bucks to build it.
ADD: A car story just for Levi - I recall in the 80s people were complaining about Holden (GM) spare part prices in Australia. A new car was like $30,000 at the time, a mechanic worked out if he bought all the parts from Holden it was like $250,000 to build one from scratch. Something like that.
