Need some buying advice. 71 Scamp

First off Lake, THANK YOU for your service, and from my family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's.

There's a real clean green '71 Scamp here in NJ....I know the guy and have bought parts from him....It's a slant 6/auto, but is real clean.

I actually tried to call one day about it but like it says After 4 is pretty later here and its along walk to the phone center. I have owned high performance cars since i could drive and I'm afraid by the time i got a v8/8.75 etc in it i would have well over 8k into it but would like to to find out more about it.

Thanks for the well wishes!
