Default Re: 4 speeds in monte carlo's?

I had a friend who ordered a white 70 monte with a 350, and a 4spd when he got home from Nam. Only one I ever saw. Had a chevelle console I believe, and a Muncie shifter.

I have seen two manual's that had backup docs (build sheets) and maybe a handful more that were 350sb and 400sb's and no docs. One of the ones with the docs was a 402BB car.

According to the experts at FirstGenMC, no one has ever seen verifiable proof on any LS6 MC's or 4 Speed SS's. Plenty of "I had this friend....." or "I have secret inside knowledge of". Not saying it was not possible, but it seems like someone would still have some docs somewhere on one of these cars. Many of the 402BB cars, in fact a very high percentage, had the tach's, buckets, console and 4 speeds. They are often passed off as SS's. However, they DO NOT have the 2 things that prove the MC SS's:

1. The "Boxed" rear control Arms / Bigger Sway bar
2. The "load leveler" system (GM Air Shock type system)

Contrary to most beliefs, MC SS's did not get Tachs or Bucket Seats standard. These were upgrade items. My current SS has buckets/console (Chevelle type, but w wood grain), but no tach dash. I have seen many SS's with bench seats and build sheets (SS= Z20).
