Was a column auto an option for the SS in '70. I seem to recall that the SS only came in floor shift auto, staple shifter. Comments welcomed.

Bench seat auto would have the column shift. Bucket seats with no console I assume would also, if such a combo was availalbe????????

Actually bench seat, and auto on column was standard equipment, console and buckets were options.

Std equip....hmmmm...I do seem to recall that. Seems out of place on an SS....

Luis, a member here has a 70 SS with factory buckets and column shift. Maybe he will see this post and drop in.

I a the bench and auto column on my 70ss, it is correct and standard. If you go on NADA for a price estamite it says the car is worth 5 percent less.

Yup, bench seat and column shift were standard. I found that hard to believe as well. I had to make the swap on my 72 Elky SS smile.gif

I got a 71 2 door malibu with factory buckets thats a column shift car wonder how many were made?

my brother had a '70 SS396 with a bench seat and column shift.
