I thought it was available on the GT, but I'd bet it is pretty rare

Very sharp Toro, do not remember seeing a '70, let alone with the a-body buckets/console.

RPO A51 (Strato Buckets) and RPO D55 (Sports Console) were readily available options on Toros. Yes, both Toros and full size cars with buckets and console used the same parts at A-body cars. The Toro console used an additional bolt-on piece on the bottom to fit it to the flat floor. The Chassis Service Manual even shows this.
