70-72 had different vents and if there is no "chrome" it has to be a 68.

....Even though you can't really see the rear bumpers, it's the vents and no fender emblem.

Only '74 and '75 were convertibles with no chrome bumpers (read: urethane) front and rear.

But the side grill is wrong for those years.
