They kind of look like late 69-71 seats with the headrests removed Confused

67 seats are one year only. There is a catch on the side for a cable that route to the front door. The cable locks the seat to prevent the seatback from moving forward when the door is closed.

68 are one year only seats as well. The headrest is incorporated into the back of the seat.

66 Was the first year for the black basket weave inserts. That's my guess.
