I'm thinking more like half that. I was very much into old MOPARs before the Porsche bug bit. '66 Sport Fury, '67 R/T, '68 Road Runner, and finally a '69 Super Bee. Still hit most of the local MOPAR club shows, as one of my cousins is still into them. The crate Hemi cars, no matter how nice, just are not worth all that much. Granted, this one looks exceptional, but there are more of these out there than you might think.
Yes, these cars an an absolute hoot to drive. Original build quality has nothing to do with it anymore, in these or in our Porsches for that matter. Once any car has been gone through to this degree it is what the fabricator made of it, not Dodge or Porsche.
With the right parts, properly sorted, I would put this car up against any GT3 on an open enough track. It looks like it might be an aluminum Hemi (most are these days), and with other weight saving measures, it could very well be under 3,000 pounds. The live rear axle won't help, but unequal length a-arms and torsion bars on the fron work pretty good. Throw a set of decent brakes under it, and you have one hell of a capable car.
