Bucket seat tracks are date coded as well,
look on the inboard track in the area circled in yellow.
Here is a close up showing the date code
of 70 209
and another view showing the date code of
70 210
For these, 70 is the year (1970) while 209 and 210 are the
209th and the 210th days of the year respectively.
The seats have several different date codes,
these first two are steel tags from the bucket seats, note
that they are in simple month / day / year format - November
17, 1969
This next tag is cardboard from under one
of the same seats, the date code is 0980 for the 98th day
of 1970
These two tags are from the rear seat back
and bottom and are made out of aluminum. The one on top
is dated 0090 for the 9th day of 1970 and the one on the
bottom is dated 0900 for the 90th day of 1970
Even the upholstery was date coded, this
swatch is ink stamped 11-69 for November 1969
