Several of us have exchanged information about what makes up a 123 GT and how many were produced in 1967, 68, 69, and 70. There are lots of opinions so I decided to contact Volvo directly to see if I could get a "correct" answer. I am not sure that I have it yet, but the response that I received from Volvo is provided below.

Dear Mr Rogers,
I have just received some information concerning your query about your Volvo 123GT. Unfortunately has not been possible for us to obtain all the information you requested.
Volvo 123GT's built in 1969 and 1970 were built for export only. When looking at reference code of your car, it appears to be an original 123GT. However we do not know how many of them were built in each year because all 123GT in 2 doors have the same chassis/serial number.
Here is a very gross estimate:
1967 approx 1000
1968 approx 40
1969 approx 5
1970 approx 5
I hope that this information will help you.
Yours sincerely,
Volvo Car Corporation
