Any forum 1971 454 vert automatic cars?
I'd like to sync up with any forum members who might own a 71 454 all original vert with auto, PS,PB,PW and tilt. I'm convinced this car is super rare and might even be declared extinct 😄

Yeah, statistically we can get any number we like.
Throw in the WBY with all the other options and there should only be 3 other cars exactly like the OP.
The AC, PB, & PS actually hurt the "super rare"ity as each of those options occurred on more than half of 71 production. So, I wouldn't expect to find ANY WBY, LS5, conv, with AT, PW, & AT but without AC, PB, & PS.

Just wanted to add.......regardless of the number made from 1970 up very few of those that survived have the original drive train . 454 cars were a small percentage of cars built from these years to begin with. Most were blown up and stuffed with whatever BB could be found to put them back in service.

I did the math via black book
the percentages do not make too much sense, I came up with 4 produced with the same color and options. Maybe wieghted average, like a math test would work.
1970 454 convert., AT,PS,PB, Donnybrook Green, green interior, white top, stero,highway gearing,pos.trac., with full doc.s.
