The top picture is the "newer" style ( '73 to '76 ) which has a disk brake up front and CDI ignition. The bottom picture is a '71 H1A which is a points style ignition and has drum brakes. That style was '69 to '72.
Here's a link to the Kawasaki Triple Resource page which has tons of info on pretty much everything he'll need to know.

Make he reads this section as it's directed to new owners.

Have your Dad register on
http://kawasakitriplesworldwide.com/phpBB2/index.php . It will take a few days to be approved ( had a bad spam problem in the past which implemented this, sorry ) but if you PM your dad's user name, I'll send an email to the Mod that handles this and it
*may* make it quicker.
There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on the Triple board who are more than willing to help out. A good search function too.
So exactly what year did your Dad get? Any pics of it? At $100 for any decent looking, complete triple, he did quite well.
He should resist the temptation to fire it up until it's been gone over to make sure he doesn't have a catastrophic failure. It would be better to purchase a few parts than have to replace major components.
