Do want to wheel-to-wheel race or just open track? Big difference. Not sure since you're looking at SVRA rules. If you actually want to race in a vintage series and are asking about money you should probably look elsewhere. Those guys have 20K+ in the motor alone. If you just want to open track a vintage Mustang, you can do it for way way less than 15-20K. 65-68 Mustangs are probably the easiest and cheapest classic cars to set up for track day duty. Start reading the
Vintage-Mustang Track forum and this
vintage Mustang thread on Corner-Carvers.

What he said, but it pertains more to campaigning a full on racing effort. Again, completely different from just thrashing your car at a track day.
