j45nick Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Sounds like '68, but we need photos to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 There's some weird overlap between 1968 series serial #s and the early 70s, so pictures should be able to nail it down for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP states "no 'Made In USA'", so that eliminates the early 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
