77 is a big change with the bumpers. What's wrong about the '78? Run it as an LT and it is still in U. Much easier change.

I thought that the 77/78/79 were all the same minus grilles and tail lights?!?

I believe that Mr. Toller is talking about a Caprice.

What a difference 5 years made.
If this one was still available, I'd be on the way right now.
Note: since this thread started, the 82 was brought back to the original 157 hp. ( in the
Wholesale 302 2v Massacre Reduction)
I don't mind pointing this out , because it is now "stick only" , as it should have been all along. Nobody is going to build one anyway because everybody knows you can't win with a low class stick shift car.

I know in general it is more difficult to win with a stick shift car.Why does the lower class stick shift make it even more difficult?

It's a Caprice. If I can get this beast home ($!) I'll make it a 77. Thanks!
Option B is a 77 Pontiac Catalina 4dr. Man it's ugly.
Either way, 305 2bbl is what I'm aiming for.

I was being facetious.
