Since I have owned 9 of these great cars over the span of 25 years, I can say that I am familiar with them.
The rear bumper is from a 1974-75 LeMans.
The rear spoiler Can Am logo decal is far from the accepted normal location. The bumper impact strip is cracked in the middle.
The lower panel black out is painted on and is glossy. Also, the blackout on the drip rail is mostly gone.
Several large chips in the finish and overall poor panel fit, even for 1977 standards.
Faded center cap medallion
Filler over entire lower door lip. Should be seam sealer. What are those holes in the door??
1978-up Delco radio
Rear seat material is incorrect grain, and does not match front buckets, which are actually correct!
Chrome rear coat hooks not correct
Spare tire not even close to proper, as with the trunk carpeting. Rusty jack and tools.
Poor prep and paint on inner fender liners. Fan shroud is from a same year GP. A/C compressor is modern replacement, as is the radiator cap. Missing purge line from carbon canister. Top post battery terminals. Q-Jet not installed.
That's just from photographs. In person, surely more would be noticed.
