Start by checking the VIN. The 3rd digit of the VIN is the last digit 
of the model year. The VIN on a 67 square will start out 367..., 
while the VIN on a 69 (IRS) will start out 369.... It IS possible that 
you have a 67 that has been converted to IRS.

The VIN occurs in several places. Check the one on the top of the 
tunnel, under the back seat. One occasionally finds "mosaic" cars 
that have been welded up from several donors.
