LS5 Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 I see on Hemings there is a fella selling his 1 of 123 produced that year only, 1970 400 small block 4 speed cars. He has a Build sheet that shows 400 small block and a M20 transmission. of course its triple green hahaha what says the rarity on that to command $39,000usd ? How many members have SB 400 4spd cars I wonder........ lol another one for Doug to start tracking...... Darren Quote
Brent C Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I remember seeing this one at a small car show just east of Tampa 2 or 3 years ago. It was for sale for about $22k then.. Quote

MC1of80 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Darren, do you mean the 1 of 80 1971 402 4speed Monte Carlos? 1 Quote
714024SPEED Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 A total of 839 small block 4 speeds were made in 1970. 589 big block 4 speeds in 1970. 16,595 Monte's got the 400 small block in 1970 but no break down of how many were 4 speeds. I would guess it's pretty rare. But what it come down to is people's personal preference big block 4 speed or small block 4 speed that will set the price. It's like having a real clean 72 Monte for sale at a very fair price but because of the color not to many people are looking at it for what it is ......had to say that lol. Something is only worth what people will pay. 2 Quote

cny first gen 71 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Don't know why they didn't offer it in 71. That was a great motor I had one in my 71 Caprice and still have the block and trans out of that car in my garage for some project at some point in time. Quote
714024SPEED Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 So true Darren my black 71 doesn't have a straight panel on the whole car but I love it as much as our other Monte's, it is a disease. 1 Quote

4spd Posted May 13 Posted May 13 I've always been curious how many were built. I've never been able to find that info. 4 Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted May 13 Posted May 13 Somewhere here there is a breakdown of that info, maybe Aaron or Joe can help find that. Looks like a pretty cool car and nice find too, welcome to the site. 1 Quote

We have some production statistics at the link below. It does break it down between small block and big block but not specifically the 400 small block. I would imagine the 400 small block with the 4-speed is more rare than the 350 as I have seen very few of them. https://www.firstgenmc.com/forums/index.php?/resources/productionnumbers/ 3 Quote
