Thats the best part! Call any local parts store and a water pump for a 79 colt does not exist! I see the one on rockauto that looks the same, I'm going to order it and see what happens.

Crossing my fingers!I can't imagine Bobcat designing their own one-off component for something like that, easier to just ridiculously inflate the cost as to mercilessly rodger anyone who is unwilling or unable to do a rudimentary search.
Rock Auto has several water pumps listed for that, they have front, back, and gasket pictures of them so you can compare to what you have. If you can't wait for it to be shipped, at least you can confirm what should be available at the local parts store.
