Either way the hinges changed. 69-70s use a different hinge. I'd say if no date codes are a good sign also. I just had a beautiful assy line set phosphated with the springs. So are they worth 450 then? Gary
This might help also. http://anghelrestorations.com/uploads/3/5/1/2/35122002/hood_hinges_v1.1.pdf

That style of hinge was introduced in late 68 production however the mushroom style stamped rivet indicates it is a later service part because the assemblyline rivet has a X stamped rivet end.

The link to Marcus' page above  pretty much sums up all of this. He has some excellent info on his site on many parts that he  graciously shares with anyone. Gary
