most interesting. How does one end up with just that? Also, at $40, that was a nice buy.

Bummer, missed it. That's the only original piece missing from my 78.

yep; it's a first year only part. At $40, and considering the high demand, that was a bargain price.

I know they were only 78's, did every 78 have that lid or only the early ones?

All 78's. They changed it for the 79 model year.
