Need advice (or opinions) on Buying a Scamp

If it's a slant, and has the smaller drum brakes it will NOT be a 4.5 wheel bolt pattern, whether 72 or 74. The seat belt thing is easy to unhook. Did the 72 have the energy absorb bumpers? That crap is HEAVY. You might double check your state emissions laws, is the 74 subject to testing there?
