Need some buying advice. 71 Scamp

So i posted a thread a few days ago about a Scamp in Virginia i was checking into. Talked to the guy and Seems pretty legit. Dad also talked to him. He thinks its good enough for him to drive 200+ miles to go see. If i want it. (Him being the head Mopar nut in the family i listen)

Supposedly the motor is from a 02 truck? this seemed a bit odd to my father and I. Fuel injection converted to Carb ?!?

SBP drums front and rear -
man steer/brakes.

Now i cant decide if i should buy it or not. I wanted to build a car with him when i got back from Iraq. Now hes talking about racing E-Mods again (asphalt now not dirt) I have all summer till i go to school in the fall i'm starting to think i wont finish a project. School i'm going to is 250mi from home and i wont be able to go home a lot.

this car "seems" Like i could get in and go Maybe do a little to make it mine.

Or buy a Solid project car and it may take a few years. For a lot less


suggestions?
