that's buying the parts "right", getting good work done at fair prices, body, frame, metal, trim, mechanicals, & paint, doing some of the work yourself. That's the low end of what a restoration of one would/should be appraised & sell for, $10-12K. In today's dollars it would be a bargain. 5 years from now, with only a handfull restored & the vintage, classic police car collection hobby becoming even more proliferated with individual collectors & a lack of cars available, I could see a restored car of this type selling for $15-20K. -- copcar dot com's Discussion Board

there was only a few hundred of these cars made during the early 1970s, which makes them much rarer than the Donahue or the any the other "special editions" made.

and it's true, a 401 4V High Performance, Matador Police Pkg would/could run circles around the 400 2V Ford Municipal Police pkg, especially in handling, ....not top end, however the AMCs were geared very low (*3.50's, 3.73's, etc) and had a top end of around 120-125 mph.
