77 has some "one off" hard to find components. Any 77 being sold "original" "survivor" etc... better damn near be mint if that is what you are buying it for. Even then, you will be over paying for something that will likely not be able to stay original.

No doubt someone will disagree. I'm just speaking from my experience.
I understand about the hard to find components trust me on that. I just thought you may have been thinking there was a major flaw in the car. I do agree it seems when I want to do something with it I have to go through a freaking research project and sometimes not sure what the heck is going on. Not to mention having to figure out if you have a late or early.

You would pay more for a low miles car that everything else checks out good on?!?!? of course most people would
But just saying "low miles" doesnt mean its a great car...
