Bjorn,
I don't mean to sound like I doubt what you are tell me, but I'd like to know how you know the the 123GT was produced in 1970. Can you offer any documentation?
You said it was not equiped the same way as the 67/68 models. Sure, none of the 1969 Amazons had the chrome on the rain gutters, hand brake, or pockets in the doors, or arm rest in the back seat, but those are minor things. It did have dual circuit brakes, locking steering wheel, four way flashers, ignition in the stearing column (and one that no longer ate keys, and of course the B20 engine. These things are those that all Volvo owners want to add to their before 1969 model Amazon.
I personally liked the chrome on the rain gutter and hand brake, pokets in the doors, and the arm rest in the back seat. They were a lot easier to add back into my 1969 model than having to add the dual circuit brakes, locking steering wheel, or the B20 engine.
What do you believe was in the 67/68 123GT that was not in the 69 (and 70 if there was one)? Maybe the limited slip differential, but that was not on all 67/68 123GTs. I bought a 1968 123GT new in Germany and it did not have the it.
The main critizism (if you can call it that) of the after 1968 123GTs were that they weren't that much different than the other 122S models since the 1969 122S had basically the same engine.
Looking forward to hearing more. Thanks for educating me.
Best regards,
Jerry
