Sold to: G.M. Overseas Distributors Corp. in NYC

...who is that and why?

It shows as options:
-cordova top
-rally 2 wheels
-soft ray glass all around
-p/b am radio
-variable power steering
-G78-14 WSW tires

...and finally...

EXPORT PREP

...what is THAT?

So the car must have quickly gone from NYC (if it ever got there to begin with) to the southwest because the sheetmetal is very nice.
What a neat GP! There was a '69 GP 4-speed that was for sale a couple of years ago with "export prep" shown on the invoice. It had a special bracket for shipping purposes attached to the center of the front cross-member. Does your car have this as well? Here's a picture of it...
