Post the Model No or the VIN (skinny plate) if you want to check if GTS. James You only have to be in front at the end of the ra

For late 73 HQ GTS the VIN should be 8Q69(R, T or U)D.....Q. Also check the tyre placard as 14 x 6 Wheels were standard on GTS ie, no other wheel size

D is the model year for Sep 1 73 to 31 Aug 74, I have a August 74 car and has the D year code, this is only for the n

The trim code is what gives it away as being a GTS. The trim codes of W, X, Y or Z is only used on the GTS. The vehicle is a GTS. What is all the confusio

There are other items other than trim or luxury that are different between say a Belmont and a Statesman
