'68, gotta be. (Bullitt.) What meaneth Stroker? Stroke refers to length of travel of the piston, up and down, up and...down...Sorry where were we?
That means the engine has been modified with a longer stroke (a combination of aftermarket crankshaft and connecting rods) to increase the displacement from 302 ci to 347 ci.
(By the way, it could be either a '67 or '68 as they had the same body style, although it has a '68 Shelby GT 350/500 body kit.)
It's most likely a '68 as it has the "floating corral" in the grill, like the '66. The '65 and '67 both had horizontal and vertical bars in the grill connected to the "corral". Weird that the hood scoops are blocked off, rather than functional as on the Shelby.

Thanks for the terrific background info, Spiny!
