As the proud owner of a '70 with the split bumper I will confirm that
you have a '70. As I understand it the '70 is the ONLY year with the
split bumper. Mine was built in Oct or Nov of '69. Mine has the
production date stamped on a plate on the inside of the driver's door.
(Can't remember for sure. I would have to go to the garage to verify
the month.)
