iagree and another case where 1971 use was a fraction of 1970's - 440HP automatic assembly for B-body ONLY (~5,000 units)

for 1970 the same assembly was used in B & E-bodies ('70 Charger R/T was >7,000 440HP automatic units)

Here is 3113 dated 4-speed that I once owned.
It also has a 1971 VIN
I'm pretty sure it was from a 440-6 E-body

Wow, three examples of a run of 4-speeds built on the same day (Feb 4th 1970) and put in 1971 cars from 3 different assembly plants long after they were built. Wonder if they were all on the same pallet and pushed to the back of the warehouse and forgotten.
