Don't quote me on this, but I believe only 6 with automatics. Now add the fact this one had power windows it might be the only one! I have some data at my shop and I'll look it up and post the totals of both 4-speeds & automatics.

Hi Steve. I remember the car as being really heavy on options. We used it as a chase car more than once for the dealership when it was a demo. Once it took a trip to Booth-Arons shop with a trunk full of goodies to be worked on.Another time it went down Milan drag strip with the top down!! Trust me ,it got all the respect that a 19 year old could dish out.

What's with all these '70 Chevelle drag cars with power windows around here lately...had folks gone "soft" by 1970?!
