New Battery
I went to take the A out for a ride over the weekend,wouldn't crank,it had been turning over very weakly for awhile and the battery charger would not bring it up sufficiently,I jumped it and went out for a cruise.I stopped on the way home and bought a new group 1 battery to the tune of $106.00 plus $27.00 core charge,in the early 60's I bought a new battery for $11.00,I guess with inflation it is about right.

Re: New Battery
Since gas went for $.25 a gallon (diesel $.17) back then, cost in the 60s X10+ would be about right for now. Somehow it just seems that a dollar went further.

Re: New Battery
You did pretty good if that battery lasted from the early 60's until last weekend.
