As a fun exercise I ran your numbers through an inflation calculator. Here's what it gave back:
What cost $4200.00 in 1970 would cost $21159.23 in 2005.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2005 and 1970,
they would cost you $4200.00 and $833.68 respectively.
Do you want to do another calculation?
Not sure if the numbers are right but it looks like this Challenger will be far more expensive that the first generation, even adjusted for inflation.
