Tuesday FUN! Original Bill of Sale- 1973 Series III

[bls72bmw]

Going through the paperwork from my new to me Rover and found the ORIGINAL Bill of Sale- what a fun piece of history thought I'd share...

Oh, and a $100 credit for radio deletion!
From the FIAT Dealer no less....

Love it!
Look at that warranty! A confidence inspiring 12K miles or 12 months.....

That's awesome! I love stuff like this. Tropical roof was $55.75. You couldn't even buy the rivets to hold the tropical roof on for that these days. I wonder what his trade in was. He got a whopping $107 for it!!

His out the door price was $5,196. Today that would be $27,748. Hmm, that's a lot of money for not a lot of car.

And I though Warn hubs were expensive now! Yikes, $115 in 1973!
I thought the same thing about the price of the truck. I love series trucks but I'm betting that in 1973 there were better options for as much if not less money. Trucks with options like V8 engines, power brakes, power steering....the things we think about hacking on to our series today.

That's the $100 credit for the radio plus $7 sales tax.

Oh, gotcha. I saw on the right side under 'Settlement' it showed "used car minus $107. I assumed that was a trade in.
