There were only minor changes in 1977. They introduced a sports appearance group for the Ghia model that was color-matched or either black or tan paint. Several other minor changes and expanded color options for the Cobra II. Also new was the T-top option for the fastback which had the tinted glass. The midway through the year changes were made. Most notably the Cobra II where the hood scoop was turned around for aerodynamics. The graphics were also changed up with dual stripes gone and changed to only a single stripe. On the sides of the car, the snake and “COBRA II” decals were replaced with large stripes raised to the middle of the body sides with large “COBRA” lettering in the middle. Louvers were added to the hatch and the side panel louvers only came in black. All of the glass moldings were painted black. With these mid-year changes,
