I know that the 70 shelby was basically a 69 with a 70 vin number,
But what toploader is correct for a 70 GT500 ?

Would it have the same RUG-AE2 tag, C7OR tail  thats in the 69 and use the same 69 shifter?
or
Would it be a RUG-AZ tag , with a D0ZR tail and a Hurst shifter

Same as 69. They did not change transmission.

The only things that would not be as assembly line"69" built would be your carb and dist with a manual choke cable, hood stripes and front spoiler added along with tire pressure sticker on pass door jamb and 69 data plate replaced with data sticker. Now I'll also say it is possible depending on when a 70 left KK they could have had the later "size" tires mounted for a few reasons. I'm pretty sure mine left KK with size tires(pics from 70-71 the car has size tires) on it but that is an old discussion I don't want to get revisited.

Well, depending on where the car was sent, it could have more modifications like the evap emissions

I only wish someone could enhance this pic from the last batch leaving KK April 1970.
