No, it didn't cost anywhere near that much cosmetically. It was all Rustoleum satin rattle can paint. The rims were a steal at $160 from Craigslist and the tires came from CL too very cheaply.
Mechanically it took more. All filters, fluids, tuneup, plugs, plug wires, converted to Pertronix ignition, redid radiator, rebuilt carburetor, yada, yada. But i did a lot of that piece meal so it didn't feel too costly all at one time.
