Don't you have the DeLorean nearby?

According to the 1973 catalog the 576 was $2600 (no options included).  The 577 isn't listed in that year.  The 1976 catalog lists a non-storage 577 with no test fixture for $2300, the storage version for $2625 and the base test fixture was listed at $500.

I don't know how those prices related to on the street prices.  I worked at a very large company and we routinely got 30% off list price at purchase time.  It was also rumored that the company got a large kickback at the end of the year based on total sales.  The kickback was rumored to be another 20-30%.
