Wow! That's throwing the smack down - where's my popcorn!

Just got my hackles up Marlin that is all. Just because 37 years later we cannot locate one they didnot exist. BS.
Unfortunately when I had my access to it I didnot know what it really was but who cared back then especially with an old Monte. They were not what we called a collector or a muscle car back in the day. In fact in my town mostly the girls and school teachers drove them.Just a car we would check for options for your chevelle and part out. I parted a couple other monte BBC also but nothing like this black one and no other 454's.Everyone today is a expert but in many cases don't have a clue what was really made expecially when you add canada to the mix.
I cannot dig right now through 35 BBc blocks to prove a point and those that know me understand why.
Sorry on the "N' I guess i should have said "Z". Regardless it was stamped right on the cowl tag. This car was produced in canada.

Just because one hasn't "shown up" doesnt mean that it won't, or that they ever produced one. Who in their right mind would Clone and restamp a 4-speed LS5 monte? Spend 45k on a resto to get maybe 20k out of the car? I know i wouldn't, and ims ure if one shows up without dosc, they wouldn't have wasted their time restamping a Monte anyway.

This one falls in line with the L89 Nova and 70 L78 TH400 Camaro threads.Just think if we had actual production records then we'd be bored to death like the mopar and Ford guys

Personally i'm from Missouri on all of em.People were doing all kinds of swaps when the cars were only a couple of years old,then thirty years later our memories burn it into total conviction that's the way it came from the factory because nobody would bother doing that to a car back then.

I agree many were doing swaps in those years but no one makes a mess like GM when they install a 4 spd floor hump nor would anyone take the time to install the worst 4spd cross member mounted muncie shifter ever produced not to mention hook up a complete column reverse lock out system.
Only Gm does that

how about the LS6 1970 El Camino...oh wait that does exist. and dont be so sure on mopar guys being bored to death. we dont have production #'s on our options 1969 and earlier. plenty of ghost stories with the mopar guys. could you imagine trying to prove the legitamacy of a 66 4 door hemi Coronet nowdays? only 4 of them built.

[njsteve]

...or the rumors of the one or two station wagons built with the 426 hemi in '66 or '67.

There is at least one Govier/GTS documented Hemi Wagon.
