The one I used t o have was base type car 70 Blue/ Std blue interior , Ram Air III , no AC just heater and PS PB AM radio I think but was up optioned to M21 trans while still keeping 3.55 Safe T Track and no console either
On a 70 TA, the M20 was the standard transmission, and M21 was a no cost option. Selecting the M21 mandated 3.73 gears, and A/C was not available with that combo. Depending on when during the calendar the car was built/invoiced, there may have been small charges for Heavy Duty radiator (required with the 3.73 gears).

No numbers have been published that include both color and trans, but about a third of 70 T/As were blue. I would say your 300 guess for blue/M21 cars is about right.
