May as well buy a restored Mopar.....

Bought the the car from the 2nd owner. 2100 bucks. He had already bought all new suspension for it but didn't know how to do it. This included brakes. He gave me everything. I bought 2 full quarters and and a rear tail light panel from clasic. I did all sandblasting and body work and paint myself. The paint was all free from top to bottom from my connections. Engine i had a buddy rebuild had about 3k in it. Interior again was redone by a local guy i know for 700. I had to order a twister stripe kit. All glass work done by my friend who is a glass installer. I have all my receipts from everything in a folder. The car was a complete car. I converted it to power steering by buying a complete column from uncle tony. The pump and brackets came from a buddy with a salvage yard. Oh and the guy i bought it from was going through a divorce.

The Demon you see as my avatar cost me $12000 to purchase initially. I added up all my receipts this morning and I figure I have around $20k in it now, so had I got it for $2k like you did, I'd be in it for $10k, so your numbers are totally legit. You purchased it right for sure!
