Did I get a good deal?

I bought this '53 Chevy 5 window the other day for $7500 bucks. I would really like your opinion to confirm whether or not I got a good deal. I seem to think I got it for a steal, but my brother seems to think we got ripped. Now, the paint is actually awful. There is bondo all over the place and a few places where the paint even dripped. The body is nowhere near smooth, lots of dips all over but from a distance it looks pretty nice regardless. Here's are the specs of the truck:

- motor is a 305 v8 edelbrock and has 65k on it
- converted to automatic 700r
- new tires and chrome rims with 200 miles only
- rotors are 10 inch
- disc brakes all around off a 85 vette
- camaro front end clip
- all chrome is like new except for the grille
- new battery and alternator
- 30 gallon tank moved to the rear
- no dings or dents inside of truck
- new paint inside and out about 2 to 4 months old
- truck is not lowered
- need to replace the side windows
- front and back bumpers are brand new
- front grill is decent
- has horn, alarm and only the headlights work so far
- speedometer works and is new
- flowmaster mufflers, dual
- air shocks
- tilt wheel

After all that I'm pretty sure I got a good deal What do you think?
