Assuming an 84 is the same size as an 86 (which I have figures on), here
goes:

Length: 179.9" x 25.4 mm/inch x 1/1000 m/mm = 4.57m
Height: 80.9" x 25.4 mm/inch x 1/1000 m/mm = 2.05m
Width: 72.6" x 25.4 mm/inch x 1/1000 m/mm = 1.84m

Volume: 4.57m x 2.05m x 1.84m = 17.24 cubic meters

I guess that means $1,034.

Good luck,
