anniversary editions are 78's. check the title or registration it should say year of car somewhere on there.

Makes me wonder if the VIN has been changed. Maybe someone else can shine some light on this.

ive seen a few of these with different front and rear bodys. could be someone swapped out the body or part of the body with a 78.

so if i was to order the weather seal kit for 1978 it should be the one i need ?

The steering wheel looks like a 1976 (called the Vega wheel). Not sure how the VINs breaks down for a car of this vintage. Is there an old registration card or owners manual with the car. The DMV may be able to help.

no registration no owners manual

So it sounds like this car is a 197? . I was scared of that . So this car is worth about $.02 ? And i payed $3500 for it . GREAT Thanks alot for the info guys if you can think of more it would be great .

So if i put mybbc crate motor and pull the original would it hurt the value ? Or help it ?
