Here are a couple of shots of my 2.7 '77. I've owned it since 2003, and its fairly stock, with most of the notorious mid-year issues having been long ago resolved on it.
I think that the mid-years are a great bargain, compared to equally priced SCs and Carreras. Unfortunately the engine gave these cars a bad reputation. But as it appears most of us posting here have figured out, either fix those issues, or do an engine swap, and hot rod it.
Oh, and my car just turned 275,000 miles!
