Saweeet !! That's going to go high on the bid if that information is right. Is that a Pontiac shift ball? Triple black to boot! Mark, this is the one you want for sure!! Drag race the green one, cruise in the black one!

[Dtret]

Nice looking car. Probably out of my price range. lol. 

[Canuck]

This same car sold for $70k earlier this year.

That is the correct shifter ball for a 1971 4 speed Monte. It's different than the 1970 shifter ball. Non console

Only 1028 miles ????

Where's it been hiding ???

Likely since restoration. Not the total miles.

[Scott S.]

So you're thinking a new speedometer ??? 

Or just timed it right ??? lol

I noticed his fuel gauge could use a little work, not to mention that it runs a bit warm at idle....... 

Still, at $70,000.00, it's pretty pricey. 

But that's just my opinion.

Some people when they do a frame off restoration they wind the odometer back to zero. Just don’t do it like they did in Farris Bueller’s Day Off. 😂

The factory 4-speeds are very rare and sought after cars. More rare than an SS454. It doesn’t surprise me that it would command such a price.

[Scott S.]

If it's all factory....  I could see a good price on it. 

But one doesn't know until one digs into it.

[backintime]

very nice looking,  I have one with 402 never gonna sell it !

[backintime]

how do I find out if there are any mc shows coming up in spring 2025 in middle Tennessee?

[backintime]

Found it on events. Probably go to Somerset, Ky in May . Ready for winter to go away already. Merry Christmas to all and hope that everyone gets the MC parts they asked Santa for.

Somerset Kentucky in the spring. Fgmcc meet too. 

[Scott S.]

Rumour is that they sometimes get listed on Facebook...... 

I actually found most in my area list events on Kijiji, in the "Classic Cars" section.

Added a 2nd 71 up for auction in the original post

71 4SPD Hammered for 55K 

[Marks71]

Nice car. The price seemed fare to me. If the hammer was 55 what does the seller get, about 50?

[Jared Richey]

Someone took a bath on what they paid last time it sold. 

[Michael Boyte]

What did it sell for last time ? And when ?

Seller pays entry fee and 8%

 

[Marks71]

I see that same auction had an 87 Chevette with 47 miles sell for 30k. Isn’t 47 miles about 1/2 its life expectancy?
