Hi tb,
If that's a recent picture it looks like a nicely maintained car.
Regards,
Alan
Does the radio actually work with that post (?) in place of the regular antenna?

Wouldn't an Anniversary Edition have the spoilers and such? I think that is a standard '78 with the optional paint scheme. Just saying... still a nice car that I, too, like a lot.
Mike, you are a real hoot!

The seats are not correct for that year (Pace Car excepted). Those look like the 79-82 style.

The pace car had the spoilers. All 78's were badged 25th anniversary. The anniversary paint was an option (B2Z).

No. B2Z amounted to paint, stripes, mirrors, and wheels.

I like that red interior. I have seen more than 12 SA at Carlisle with my oyster interior a few more with blue and several more with black. 12K had the SA color for 78 of the 40K made that year.

I've got the mahagony interior. Checked in it yesterday and still has that nice, leather smell.
