It's about a mid year 1978 model. Model years start in August/September of the previous calendar year, not January. For example, a 1978 model would start production in August/September 1977.

Mick: do you have any timelines of Fairmont production at different locations.
My 12/77 boxtop was built at the St. Thomas plant (and went to California) while this Sport Coupe was built 01/78 in Mahwah.

I was generalizing with my August/September production start and end. Each plant is different and they did not intermingle the consecutive unit numbers (last six of VIN) between plants.
