Another 65 Pleeze! (Re: Buick Factory Assembly Manuals) Dear Mark, Just discovered this thread and so I'm tossing in my "vote" (actually my car's vote of course! :3gears Don't know if any of this is going anyway, but if so, another vote for 65! :TU: Cheers, Edouard :beer
They do have 1955. I think you will need to make a visit to Sloan to get access to that one. These things are way cool. I do continue to work on this project. I have been in negotiation with the Sloan Museum for some time on the matter. I am also trying to restablish my connection with EMI now that GM has gone through bankruptcy. The immediate future is not so bright on this project. I will continue to work this to the best of my ability. If anyone has an orginal they would be will to use as a base or sell please let me know. Mark
oh wow! I was kidding. Now, I really do want one!! Maybe, I'll do just that. Go to Sloan. Keep up the good work.:TU:
I voted for '68, since I already own one...and the manual, thank you very much. Money well spent. I wrecked the thing (guy cut me off and I get the fault) in '04 :ball: and have been slowly bringing it back. Body shop wanted $800 to straighten the frame, but, using the manual as a reference, I discovered the frame is still straight within 1/16th inch. Spent $60 to save $800. Works for me.

Searched for assembly manual information and found this thread, Looks to be a few years old. Just wondering what is the best manual, I would like the most comprehensive or complete manual for a 1971 Skylark/GS/GSX, etc. but it sounds confusing about whats out there. any news since this post? Thanks Chris
The most comprehensive versions are at the Sloan Museum and AACA library. I am not sure if they will provide a complete document to you or not. If they did it would get really pricey. I think they charge around 20 cents a sheet and there is something like 200-300 sheets. your next best bet it get a reproduction one for the full line or skylark. They are typically around $20-30 and can be found at several parts dealers and ebay. They are not complete but have a lot of good information. The reprint quality is also really poor. Hope that helps. Mark
Any update on weather these manuals ever where or are coming out I would have the 71 Skylark for sure. Just having that makes my car more interesting. Thanks Chris
I have not been able to make any progress with Sloan. I will continue to work with them but it is not a priority for them at this time. There is also some concerns from Sloan about the reproduction process. Sorry, Mark
After several years of trying to work a deal with Sloan I have not been successful. I think the only way this will get done is to find alternative sources for the manuals. I bought a 1972 today and I am looking at what it will take to make good reproductions. If all goes well I will make the 1972 manual available and then I will be looking for originals of the other years to buy or put into production. Mark
Do you have an original 70 Factory Assembly Manual or Service Manual? Most people have the Service Manual. Thanks, Mark
That was the one I bought. I was suprised only you and I bid on it. Just think you will be getting it for a fraction of the price if I can actually put it into production. I also bought the big car version too. It is very rare to see these become available. Mark
I was suprised too, and I'm glad you got it. At least this way maybe I can still get a first run copy that's better than what's out there. Sorry for helping to run up the price so far! That's a great find. I saw the big car stuff too, I just wanted the Skylark/GS one.
Mark compare the 72 you just got (is it just A body version) to the one in the library - which is full line - i have just the riviera pages in the works - and of course I can clean up/collate anything that's out there that is submitted for the libraries - seems to be lots of poorly scanned partial and Cd ones floating around ebay etc. 1972 Full Line - Buick Assembly Ins sent Glenn Tangen - 1971 GM Corp
