Slightly biased as I've done it, but I would say a genuine 300 is a good figure for a classic. Being lighter than later cars, you'd probably need 330ish in those for the same performance. At 300 the standard clutch/gearbox should be ok and you'll be fine without a front mount intercooler. General reliability should be good also. Spend any extra money on better anti-roll bars/droplinks and brakes and you'll have a very good road car.
