AFAIK, The only cars to come with trunk carpeting
(rear wheel wells) were the "S" models and maybe the
"limited edition 5spd (1979). Dick Wong is the orig.
owner of a '78 Sidewinder (please inform us).

Yes, the seat back is diff - at the base. What I did
when I discovered this (back in the early 80's was
simply swap the upholstery to a seat back that fits.

there are other sublte differences (carb vs FI, etc.,
110mph, 100mph, and 85mph speedos, 4spd vs 5spd, two
wipers (74-75) vs single wiper (76-81), chrome look
instrument panel vs woodgrain vs flat black) how nit
picky do ya want to get?
