How can I tell the difference between 1976 Gran Fury and 1977 Gran Fury?

Sorry for the title i wanted to include the 76 fury too.Sometime soon I'll be looking for a 1976-78 gran fury model ...I understand the difference aesthetically..well kind of according to this


''Furys and Gran Furys are two completely different cars during their '75-'78 run. In '75, the regular Fury name replaced the Satellite name on the intermediate models. The Gran Fury name replaced the Fury name on the full-size models.

'75-'76 Furys had single round units.
'77-'78 Furys had stacked rectangular headlights.

'74-'75 Gran Furys had dual round lights (four-eyes). ''
But what about their size is there a difference between 76-78 models like the wheelbase,etc? What are some advantages a 78 has over 76? (Like less gas or better features?) I know cars got downsized in 77 but not sure if chrysler downsized that year

Basically the huge tl:dr

What are some mechanical differences between the 76-78 Gran Furys? What are the advantages of a 78' over the 76?

No 1978 Gran Furys.
In 1974, Gran Fury was the top model of all of the Fury line.
For 75-77, the entire C-body line of Plymouth was changed from Fury to Gran Fury with the Gran Fury line have different models. Confused?

The mechanical differences tween the 74 - 77 cars are insignificant. All you need to know is to walk past the ones with AutoTemp II a.c. and look for a car with manual a.c.

This is what manual A/C looks like....

ATC II doesn't have a fan speed switch and has temp buttons 65, 70 ,75, etc.
