At 50,000 miles my 1977 Grand Prix was just getting broken in, not "worn out".

Again, I believe you are selling cars of that era short, if you REALLY think one with 50,000 miles was the equivalent of a modern car with 200,000 miles. I bought a few cars back then with around 50,000 on the odometer, and they were by no means "used up". In fact my first two cars, a 1967 VW and a 1968 Chevelle, both had approximately 50,000 miles on them when I purchased each, and they were both in excellent condition. Nothing like a vehicle with 200,000 miles on them, and I live in the Northeast where lots of salt is used on the roads.
