Default Re: 4 speeds in monte carlo's?

According to the Chevrolet SS Red Book....

1970 - Yes, suffix code would be CGW
1971 - Yes, suffix code would be CPA but goes on to note that the TH auto was standard and a 4 sp. manual MAY have been available

According to Colvin's Chevrolet By The Numbers.....

1970 - NA, with the note of "to date, no documented original 4-sp SS Monte Carlos have been found. Original GM order forms indicate that SS Monte Carlos could only be built with the TH400 automatic"

1971 - shows only available under some config with Monte Carlo that had a 454/425 motor but not available with the 454/365

Looks like uncertainty still remains to the ability to answer your question with facts.
