Debbie,
I can narrow it down a little, depending on what's left of the car.
First, if there's a VIN plate on top of the dash, that would probably
be the most reliable. I'm going to assume it's a convertible, since
you didn't say otherwise. It should start with "GHN". If it's
GHN3L, then it's between 1963 and 1967 inclusive. GHN4U is a 68 or
69, GHN5UA is a 1970, GHN5UB is a 1971, GHN5UC is a 1972, etc on up
to GHN5UE which is a 1974. I can give you the boundary numbers for
each year if you would like to narrow it down further.
