Default 1970 GTO from Two Lane Blacktop on Columbo?

I am in the process of watching all the Columbo series on DVD. I'm done with season one. I get into season 2, and I have spotted a 1970 GTO, orbit orange with spoiler, eyebrow stripes, and appears to have the Keystone mags also. They used the car in two episodes so far. One time a guy drove it out on a large dock...he was meeting Columbo there, and in another episode, it was parked in a parking ramp at police headquarters. Not many 1970 GTO's had that combination...orbit orange, stripes, spoiler. And with the Keystones on it, I wonder if it was in fact the Two Lane Blacktop car?

here is a link to an old thread in which the TLB GTO was discussed. I believe it was mentioned the car made an appearance on a few shows such as Baretta and Columbo.

This is Season 2, Episode 3: "The Most Crucial Game".

Private investigator Ralph Dobbs (played by Val Avery) is seeking out Columbo so the LT can give him his license back (which he absentmindedly forgot to do).

I think it even was used in an episode of Magnum P.I. The studios back then (and maybe today) kept a ton of cars on hand that were used over and over in different shows. You can make a game out of it by watching episodes of CHiPS, Adam-12, Emergency!, etc. and looking for the same cars in background shots.
