I think Rex's suggested car has some potential...
For Piper, I think you're definitely paying a premium, but the craftsmanship shines through on their work. I personally wanted the best safety equipment I could get b/c a car built in 73 just doesn't have the inherent qualities that a modern car has when it comes to structural soundness.
I paid approx $3200 for my rollbar (14.5 hours), both seat mounts, harness mounts, fuel cell installation + cover, rear tow hook fabrication, welding in sway bar reinforcements, and fuel pump mount fabrication + install & plumbing. This doesn't include the price for the fuel cell. A cage is considerably more expensive, but I bet that rough quote is assuming you're delivering a car with a full interior. If you strip it yourself before delivery, you'll save a considerable chunk of money (however may be worth it to let them reinstall the dash around the bars for a professional finish)
