A guy here in jersey SWEARS he bought a one owner 70 LS5 4-speed Monte SS back in the mid 80's and drove it. He has since sold it to someone else... so who knows.

I for one despite the fact we cannot find a documented one know for sure they did exist with a 4spd since I also bought one for salvage in probally 84.It was rusted beyond repair but the drive train was 100% original.Like the one for sale it was triple black LS-5 454 4speed. I still have most of the drive train buried somewhere I would say as well as the muncie, shifter, pedals etc. It had the adjustable shocks and compressor which I just found in the last year and sold on e-bay as well as factory tack and guages, tinted glass and a AM 8 track.
Disc brakes were two piece rotors, power steering, F41 but no posi. Also had the windshield washer fluid monitoring set up. The floor hump for the shifter was factory installed for sure which was very clear when we cut it out.
Interesting part was it was a bench seat car and the only SS emblems I remember were on the fenders.
Years later after finding out some were saying the 70 monte never existed with a factory 4 spd a guy came and pulled what was left of the shell out of the woods since the vin and cowl tag was still in place and I had all the paper work but I never heard what he did with the remains.It was quite rough.
