Has there ever been a documented 1970 or '71 SS 454 Monte Carlo with a 4 speed?

No.
I am quite sure there is one out there but no one has ever come up with documentation of such. Rick

None Believed made. (www.firstgenerationmontecarlo.com). There were however 402 Big Block Monte's made with the 4 speed. These 402 cars were not anything special as far as SS or anything, but they did get the 12bolt rears, and if auto, the 400 tranny. Also, all monte's were LS5's (and the HP rating was rated lower than in the Chevelle's, but the same LS5?), but no documented LS6's.
I just got a 70 Monte SS, # match, Bucket seat car. Awesome to say the least! In 72 the SS was discontinued, and they had a "Custom" package which you could get, but with a 350, 400, BB402 or BB454. I *think* you could get the 454 all the way to 1973-4. Rich

I lived near a body shop in 1970 and became friendly with the owner and his sons. The older son bought a new 1970 SS454/4-speed Monte. I recall he immediately swapped out the tires for G60 x 15s. I saw the car numerous times and was there when it sucked the headlights out of a friends' 383/auto 69 Road Runner. Suprisingly fast car.

Although I have not yet seen the magazine, a buddy of mine says in a new issue of a muscle car magazine they show a supposed all original SS 454 4 speed Monte Carlo. I'll try to get the name of the magazine.
