Default 1976 and 1977 interior comparison

Does anyone have any pictures of 1776 and 1977 interiors? I keep reading Vette history of the 77 having a total new look for inside. I WANT TO SEE! Sincerely,
Steve :hat

The new interior came along in 78. The 77 got the new console a year early. The rest of the interior in 77 was same as the 76.

See 77 Facts on my website. 68-77 is similiar w/ 77 some significant upgrade changes.

78-82 got the revised interior as Tom73 said. BTW, Tom there were other changes besides the console change.

The 77's also came with a 1" higher (longer) shifter, so wrists could clear the parking brake during shifting.
