I would like to know what my HD6G cost when it was new. If any of you have original sales data I would appreciate it. Please include the year and accessories. I had an interesting experience at the grand opening of an AC dealer. I was given a price and payment schedual for a brand new machine. I didn't realise what a deal it was. Money was tight so I didn't purchase the machine. Years later I found that the same machine used and well worn sold for more than twice the price I was offered. That is why I would like to know the new selling price of HD6G's

Dozer: Here's a little more not absolutely related but close, HD5 Tractoshovel 1952 per Norm Swinfords Industrial book:

Tractor - $6575
Shovel -  $3025
Total    - $9600

Could not find any prices for the HD6 G in my reference materials.   

Note to MNLonnie - Can you kindly provide a reference or source for the price listed? Sure was a lot of money in 1967.

MNLonnie: Thanks, I have that book and missed it.  Appreciate you posting the reference.  Have any of you guys seen a Construction Machinery Price List Book?  I have several for Farm Equipment, but have never seen any for CMD Line.
