Looks like an easy fix if you have the ability - repair estimate seems pretty high to me.....
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy horsepower and that's kind of the same thing.....

Been thinking about signing up on Coparts and playing around in their salvage title area (no licenses required), as there are occasional 80s era Dodge trucks that may be able to be picked up cheap and used for parts and project money.

If it's a real 440 6bbl then the work may be worth it. 
If you notice both driver and passenger door glass (rear) is tweaked upwards.  Both quarter panels are "crunched/bent" between the door and wheel well yet no impact damage.  It appears to me that car has been bent shorter by probably a good 2".   My friends, that is likely a new rear end from the trunk filler back on both sides.  I'd bet you'll also need at least the floors to the front seats and for sure new sills.  The right front tire is bent under in a way that screams bent right front frame and new lower suspension on that side.  Last thing to "rain" on your parade.  If it's truly a maple syrup car, they loved them some salt up there back in the day.  Who knows what awaits you.
It sure doesn't look like a quickie and if it's a clone... well, you'll get a bunch of parts at least.  Mind you this is coming from a guy who kinda happily spent way too much on restoring his old car.

That's a good idea.
I wonder if they send 3 emails a day like hemmings.
