1980 Schwinn Super Sport

I bought a 1980 Schwinn Super Sport a while back -

It has a pretty good Panasonic frame with some good components on it - including 2 terribly mismatched 700c wheels that the PO installed.

I plan to sell it, but I have no idea what wheels came on it back in 1980.
Right now it has one "Gentleman" Wolber rim with a no-name 7-speed Cassette/sealed bearing 126mm hub at the rear, paired with a Mavic "deep V" 700 and Shimano hub up front.

I am trying to figure out what to do:

1) Sell it with these fairly decent quality but ridiculously mismatched wheels
2) Try to source a 700c wheel that matches one or the other
3) Install a lightly used 27" Araya alloy 126mm wheel set that I have kicking around, since that is what it probably came with anyway (or did it?)

Any advice is appreciated.
