Actually, having read another poster saying, "Who cares what he says?", I have to agree with him. What difference does it make what he says, as long as he isn't blatantly rude and he gets the part for you? He was obviously expressing his interest in muscle cars rather than luxury cars, and that's OK. As long as he comes through with the part, that is the important thing and you can advise him what a nice drive the Imperial is.

As for the differences between the '76 and '77 NYB, I'd have to dig out some literature I have packed away. We have our house listed for sale and I stored away most of my automotive literature several months ago. I know the cars look identical at a glance. Incidently, I remember when I could tell the differences between '75, '76 and '77 Cordobas and now I can't even recall what those differences were.
