According to the paper work the price did include all taxes and fees. Also there is a shipping fee for the magnum 500's because the car came with the hubcaps and the magnums did not arrive until about 6 weeks later..Now here is a kicker..My Pops was a lead foot and back in the day there was no radar detectors (or highway patrol with radar I believe) and according to the paper work there is a $135.00 fee for the factory to install a CB radio with fixed antenna. The antenna is on the roof..and yes people always ask me what the thing on the roof is for..The radio unit was installed just below and slightly left of the glove box..You can see the antenna dome on the megasite in gallery 1 5th set of pictures down. The first pic has the best view.
To answer the question of "Why would your dad have hole drilled in the roof for a CB antenna instead of a magnetic one" The answer is...I have no idea I was only 11 years old. But he once told me it was because the magnetic ones would scratch the paint if he took it on and off plus he didn't want a wire showing.
