Gills

Good question. The 68 and 69 had the vertical gills. Then in 70 they changed to the egg crate style that stayed until 72. Then after 72, they stayed with the opening until the end of the c3 run in 82. Hope this helps.

Of the C3 models, the 68 and 69 had the 4 verticle gills. 70 thru 72 had the eggcrates. 73 and up had the single opening.

and to add. '68's had no trim in the gills whereas '69 did. At least I'm almost positive. :D

In '69 the trim was a $21 option. Try buying a set today for less than $350! :crazy:
