I had a 78 back in high school too, man that thing was a tank, it couldn't be killed. I hit a deer going 65 mph, broadsided it right between the headlights, and drove it home. Another time I slid off the road and went backward down a 15 ft embankment at 50 mph and wedged it between the hill and the fence at the bottom. Tow truck pulled it out and I drove it home. I had to change the left side spool in the rear end that got bent and then it was good to go. About a year latter, I had to change the banana shaped radiator that the deer left behind.
