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.
