Correction on the back window trim on a 78. Some had a black painted inner strip, not all bright stainless. Pace Cars had all black. Also the window was not limited to a 78 as it continued so not a way to spot a 78. Easiest is the 25th emblem.
Steering wheel could be of the 77 variety if you did not get T/T in 78.

I have also found with this exercise that searching google images for 19xx corvette and looking for differences isn't necessarily accurate.
Also, over the years, things get changed out on cars for various reasons.
I just wanted some kind of guide that if I were to walk by a c3 in a parking lot or see one at a gas station I could make a fairly accurate guess on what year it is.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

'69 had map pockets on the passenger side of the dash, '68 had none. '68 sb was 327, '69 350. First year for the L46 350/350.
