show and tell, or, what year is my superhawk? (supermutt)

probably should have been the first thing i did, but im not always the brightest, just get excited and start working haha...anyway, here are some pics!
obviously this is the # on the engine:

on the frame, first #'s you cant see are "CB77"

was told its a 67, but no title, any help would be appreciated!

maybe i should call it the supermutt:

homebrew exhaust apparently, one high pipe on either side, CL bars (most likely replacing with stock style or flat since they are horribly rusty and about the worst looking part once the bike is together) orange paint with black paint on the tank, and chopped front fender.

carbs are about good to go, need to adjust floats before i put them back on, realized today my throttle cable is crap, getting one of those shortly, have the gasket for between the petcock and tank on its way, new fuel line and clamps in my car, it will kick over with starter fluid now that the carbs are freed up. getting closer...

Andy, your numbers are, according to the '65-'67 database that I've been collating, 1965 production.

Look on the bright side; if a '66 Dream crops up for sale then you won't hesitate!!

im too broke though haha...i buy and repair 10 spd bicycles, once it warms up here i will be paying off a bunch of debt and freeing up a nice little bit...i just need to get my projects that i have moving before i get anything new. my 67 dart gt is in the middle of a disc brake conversion, hoping to get the superhawk moving before it starts to warm up and then getting in the garage to finish the dart.
