Exactly - No, but I can narrow it down quite a bit.
It should be a 74 -76. It's not a 73 since the rear bumper isn't metal and it isn't a 77 because the 77 didn't wear a Stingray badge on the side.

I'm guessing 74-76. The air dam is aftermarket. I cant see enough of the grills to differentiate between a 74 and 75-76. The 74 did not have the black rubber bumpers on each side of the licence plate. The bra makes it tough to tell. Somebody could've put the "Stingray" script on the side of a 77-79 but I doubt they'd have put rally wheels on it too.
