Both are opening 1:18 models of 1973 Japanese coupes, and both inspections describe detailed engine compartments. A hood-up requirement therefore does little to separate the Moss Green Celica from the standard silver Skyline. The difference becomes clearer when you look behind the seats.
Liftback space or spare-wheel trunk?
Celica 78768: a visible load area
The large hatch rises over a flocked cargo floor and seatback, with restraints and supporting struts. The open rear extends the interior view rather than isolating a small trunk.
Skyline 77471: equipment under a trunk lid
A recessed spare and molded jack provide the rear compartment’s subject. They represent the stock car’s equipment; their removability is not established.
These are different displays, not a capacity contest. No usable compartment dimensions or accessory-fit tests are available, and the Celica’s restraints do not establish supplied suitcases.
The closed cars make a different distinction
The Celica inspection found Moss Green almost black in limited light, with chrome trim still prominent. The Skyline inspection concerns the standard silver car with dark flares and black steel-style wheels. Choosing the Skyline for tuned aftermarket wheels would select the wrong edition.
For a collection centered on standard Kenmeri appearance, that identity settles the choice before cargo trim matters. If either subject would fit and you want a substantial open rear view, the Celica’s liftback arrangement supplies the more relevant difference. The cards keep each exact car’s details alongside that choice.
