Default RE: Inflation Calculator

According to your calculator, a 1967 Camaro SS with the 396 cu.in., 375 hp motor, which was originally sold for $3,046.00 would cost $18,727.61 in 2007 dollars! That's about $2,300.00 LESS than a loaded Kia Optima!
I don't care WHERE you're from, THAT'S ONE HELLUVA GOOD PRICE on one HELLUVA FAST CAR!
Details/prices on the 1967 Camaro found here: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1967-chevrolet-camaro-ss-396.htm

Likewise, the calculator indicates that I should be able to build a house like my parents built for $28,900.00 in 1971 for $146,535.13 now.
ANOTHER AMAZING DEAL! Where can I buy ten of them at that price? I'll resell them (at 5% UNDER ACTUAL 2007 value) and retire a few years earlier than previously planned!

I think the calculator has a couple of wires crossed, Bud.
