go to the C3 registry and see where you serial number fits in with other known dates.

Correct. The new model year usually began in August, but there are exceptions. #374 sounds correct for August 29th, 1968; third or fourth day of 69 production.

Hi Steve,
New, old, 69! NICE!!!
It is a bit confusing.... your model year 69 was built in 1968, so it will have ALL 1968 DATED parts but NOT parts for the 68 model year car which would have had 1967 and early 1968 DATED parts.
Later built 69 model year cars might have a combination of 1968 and 1969 DATED parts depending on just when it was built.
So, how about a couple of pictures?
Regards,
Alan
