Okay……a 1971 and 1970 GTO are basically the same except for the front clip. The only difference on the ‘71 I recall are a rear bumper with notches for bumper guards, seat upholstery, door panels, dash bezel and optional honeycomb wheels.

You also got the body colored adjustable mirrors on the GTO when you ordered the dual mirrors:



1970: Chrome non-adjustable (from inside the car) - as seen in the photo

They are supposed to be the new for 1971 Honeycomb wheels:



Remember - the ads/brochures have to be completed before production actually starts.

I've only seen those wheels once - on a 1970 GTO show car Pontiac built:
