77s had the new center console. I'm not sure that would make much difference in a carpet set.

I wonder if the console area is smaller so less carpet is needed to go over the hump. Its brand new and in the box, He will take like $90 for it. Wouldnt be worth it if it didnt fit. Same color just not sure about the fit.

There was a change in the height of the lip in front of the storage compartments during the '76 model year. I can't remember if the early ones had the lower lip or the later ones did but I have seen other '76's that are different from mine.
