      @Ben Dover - Actually, we’re both wrong. The car in the movie was actually a 1976, with a 1977 nose. The 77’s weren’t out yet, so they used 76’ cars. I didn’t know 76’ model cars had T-Tops, but they had a real limited 50th anniversary model in 76’ with them( less than 3,000 I think, but I’m not positive on that, it’s been years since I found that out).
