March 29, 201411 yr comment_444427 The early cars, like that 71, use a mechanical pump. It's bolted to the side of the cylinder head. Later cars had electric pumps, installed just in front of the fuel tank, under the car. Many people install electric pumps in place of mechanical pumps. They typical electric pump is in in the $90 range.You need more info.

March 29, 201411 yr comment_444428 in California... the safari gold '71 might be a $3500 car. in the southeast, that's a $5000 car all day long. in my opinion.

March 29, 201411 yr comment_444430 Certainly I agree that's a good platform although I agree with others comments regarding the frame rail section under the battery. Be sure to crawl around underneath and inspect rails for cancer and pay attention to where the T/C rods mount and front sway bar mounting positions. Otherwise that is a good score and congrats to saving another one.
