can somebody help me decode this please i jumped the gun and started to part it but it might be rare enough to restore thanks Hector st 72 43437 FL1 **** tr 136 53t pnt 09e a65 vin 4G37k2h116670 has 350 air clear n25 and rear spoiler and rally wheels and gs rocker panel moldings
the front spoiler is gone how would i check to see if it had one any special bolts or holes that would still be there?
Hector, as far as I know the Sloan museum does have the 72 records. Also to confirm, this is a 350 car, Cortez Gold, Tan Top with Saddle Interior?
Build sheet hidden= free Sloan is quick n worth money if GSX or Not Excellent source... Lower trim SS 3" pin stripes black or red ? Check for V top trim holes/ nail head traces?
Someone should check this, but this is what I can find right now.................. ST 72 = 1972 43437 = Skylark FL1 **** = Flint plant & sequential body number TR 136 = Dark Saddle interior 53t pnt = Cortex Gold lower with ????? color vinyl top (can't find a "T" code for '72) 09e = Built 5th week of September a65 = Bench seat with fold down armrest vin 4G37k2h116670 = -4 = Buick -G = GS -37 = Skylark -K = 350 dual exhaust -2 = 1972 -H = Flint plant -116670 = 16,670 Skylark built
Here's a link to top codes http://www.teambuick.com/reference/years/72/72paint.php Says "T" is "Light Covert"? Not familiar with that color.
Got any pictures Hector? Also, I can't remember who said it, but someone on here a while back made a comment about how a few GS's were ordered with just the spoiler in 72??? There were 6 Cortez Gold X's built in 72. 5 non-vinyl cars and 1 with a white top.

In '71 and '72, the GSX package consisted of rear spoiler, hood/side/spoiler stripes, rear quarter and spoiler "GSX" decals and a "GSX" dash emblem. The front spoiler and hood tach were options. Big block/small block/bucket/bench/vinyl top all available. Very hard to verify. Body numbers were low in '71, but I'm not sure if this was the case in '72. I believe a total of (44) cars were produced in '72, so very few specimens out there!
If this is true then the answer it is not a GSX: Cortez gold =yes (possible 1 of 6 cars) Vinyl top = yes (possible 1 of 1 car) Unfortunately the top is the wrong color according to the tag.
