I try not to think about how much I spent on 'Tater,...
But I'll say that I paid $2K, plus $1100 for new rubber, and a couple hundred for the tow truck just to get it home. And that was for a running, semi-drivable, yet fully functional dump truck.

It's not so much about what everyone else says it's worth, coz things cost different amounts depending on where you are (everything costs too durned much here!), but what is it worth to YOU.

1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "
1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber"
2007 Chevy Avalanche
2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk,
2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
