Really!!! A '76. Doesn't look like it. Must be the angle of the photos.

1976 models have a very long section of body between the back of the hood & the windscreen. Also, the windscreen on a '76 is quite curved, similar to "normal" cars. This one doesn't look like that, but must be the angle of the photos....

A '76 should also have a 1600cc or 180cc engine.

No worries.
