Biggest changes where the location of the fuel filler (moved outside), high
back seats, FI, and optional AT. I think 67 was the first year for dual port
heads,and 12 volt which were carried over for the FI models. In 1969, you could
get IRS and a manual trans, or the optional AT. Not many changes to the
exterior until 1970 (the big body change). I hope this helps.
