1970 510 was $2k, that's $12,195 today.
A modern Sentra is $20k
So, no the 240Z was never an "every-mans" car. It offered European styling and performance for far less. It was still more than a Muscle car and considerably more than typical economy cars of its time.
You can't go off inflation alone for car prices.
A 429 Boss Mustang was $4,100, that's $25,000 today. Modern equivalent is a $65,000 Shelby GT500. You can barley get a base V6 for $25k.
