But we know in most cases, realistically, the thermal reactors have been long gone.. lets hope so anyway. And its a given that the SC of the following year was a much better car.. but that's not what's being discussed.

Again, we used to love 77s back in the day, cheap fixers.. ad the SC flares, work the motor or add a 3.0 and have fun. They "were" an excellent value.
