I would like to have seen the fender tag on that car (if it had one).

It said car was recently restored (and car looks very nice). I love that color and looks super sharp under the hood.

A couple of things I see that I wonder about. A C-171 A/C compressor on a '78 (not impossible but unlikely). This appears to be a no/AC car so I will assume it was converted to A/C. The compressor being painted black is also odd.
A newer version of alternator. It looks like a '88 alternator with the adjusting/tightening bolt bracket system from the '88.
The newer aluminum (non-painted) inner fender alignment plates (in place of the painted black steel plates).

I would love to see this car in person and take more photos about the differences between these cars (Mexican or Brazilian versions).
