If its not a W72 then it should not have the shaker callouts. That makes me wonder about the paint being original.

Don't forget that 78 L78 (non-w72's) came with NAKED shakers & it was pretty common in the old days to add the T/A 6.6 decals to the shaker.

My first clue on this one was that the shaker decals look slightly out of position.(non factory installed?)

I own a couple '78 TA's now and both have body side molding from the factory. The moldings on the car in the ebay add appear original. Also, in '78 I bought a TA without the W72 (I was told the factory wasn't making anymore W72 with automatic when I ordered mine) option. The dealer said I could just buy the T/A 6.6 decals and add them myself, giving it the appearance of a W72. I'm guessing that is the case here too.
