Please don't do yourself the dis-service of underestimating correct cars.
The absolute upper echelon is original/numbers cars;
The next rung down are 100% correct cars.
This is why people go searching for correct parts - with the same money spent, the car is worth more complete and correct.
This is why I, and others have reccomended doing anything you can to complete the car, or fix small issues.
Very few cars from this time period have survived with their "as built" drivetrain in tact;
Heck, I had my transmission replaced under warranty on my 'wrong wheel drive' daily driver - so not even that car is numbers any more...
I was more concerned with getting a "free" transmission when mine started showing issues, while my powertrain warranty was in effect - and I'm pretty sure that's the way people looked at these cars in the early 1970's.
