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.
Scott
