On the rear trim panel the GTS will have a "GTS" on the panel rather that "GT". Same thing on the interior along the upper door. There is a GTS or GT emblem depending on model.

I always thought that the GTS came with buckets, although I could be wrong on that one. The GTS could also have come with or without trim panels on the trunk and rockers, and both could get a Bee Stripe. 6417532-IMG_2782_1_1.JPG (85 downloads)

The GTS could also have come with or without trim panels on the trunk and rockers, and both could get a Bee Stripe. No Bee stripe available on the GT, only GTS and 340 Swinger. For the 69 model year, GT had full length trim down the top edge of the fender, door and quarter where the GTS did not. GTS came standard with buckets, except for GTS 'verts, where a bench seat was standard. Scott B. "I'm a self-made man...

The side trim was different, but after all of these years many GT models have lost the trim. Standard seating in both GT and GTS were buckets in the hardtop and bench in the convertible. The other was optional in each.
