Hi Gary, That was my 1978 Trans Am (the gold one). There are 3 ways to differentiate between 77 and78. Easiest is the grilles….77 grills were a honeycomb style,78 were diagonal. Second way is 78 shaker sits higher than 77 as they changed the intake manifold for 78. You would likely need to see the two years side by side to notice unless you are really familiar with these cars. Third and easiest way is the roof hatches. 77 cars used Hurst hatches and 78 hatches were from the Fisher body plant. Hurst hatches were smaller with a wide roof between them and not full length. They came back to about 3” from back of side windows and had about a foot of roof between them. Fishers in 78 were full length and have maybe 6” of roof between them. Thanks for the compliment on my car!
