Hello and welcome to the forum. there was very little that tell a 75 from a 76 one thing that i know of is, on the cornering lights in the front on the 76 is there two horizontal chrome (plastic) lines. Thats is the only thing i know about the body, there could be other differens in interiour material and so on, but thats i dont know.

If you can get an up close look at the car(s) in question, the 6th digit of the VIN would be a 5 for 75 and a 6 for 76. Never noticed that about the chrome lines on the cornering lights, that's cool I thought there were literally no differences. Things like this are why this forum kicks ass.

First of all,:welcome: I am a MN native too, I'm from Eagan. And if i remember correctly, the grilles are slightly different.

On the '76s the grill insert is also different, and there are chrome borders around the horizontal taillights just above the rear bumper.
