A '77 would not be my first choice. A few years ago I had a '78 offered to
me for free -- I posted it and asked around -- no takers. Condition may have
been a factor. But fugly bumpers and anemic output are right up there.

First thing to check is if you can fit in the cockpit and work the pedals.

Wiith my long legs, I can sit there with my knees splayed out, but I have to
work the pedals with the side of my shoe, which is pretty tiresome.
