Here's the cowl tags Here's the one on my car. EDIT - I know what all the codes mean except for the "R" in the lower left corner and the "2" in the lower right.
And the second one Here is the tag off of the car I bought the cowl section out of, lots of 'ACC' codes on this one.
68 Buick Skylark Custom convrt. with green (platinum ) interior and a a tarpon green mist exterior with a black top. Made at the Flint plant. 9146= sequence number.
I can't believe this thread is still alive. I just looked through it again and this must have been one of my very first posts. I started the thread the day I got my 67 which is my first Buick. That was March 2003...this thread is almost 2 years old. The information is terrific. The decoding provided in this thread matches exactly to the options on my car. I'll say it again. There's a whole bunch of awesome people on V8. :TU: Thanks to all of you. Harvey
Everyone, Great Info Here, Thanks Great info here. Thanks to everyone for contributing. My 67 decodes perfectly with the codes listed. BTW, Duane (or anyone) what month of the previous year did Fisher start putting out the new bodies? I think someone had 08C for their 67 and it was built in 66? Just curious if they went from a certain month in the year or not.
Hi there! Im new in the buick world... and I live in Europe!!!! I found a skylark 4 speed manual 66 conv. GS for sale... Can anybody help me decode these numbers: ST 66-44667FL1 209349 body TR 29 G-B A-2 2 LE 5Y look at the attached images of the car Thanks!!! Dan, :3gears:
The reason you did not get a response is that you needed to start your own thread rather than tap on to someone else's but here is cut at the decode: 44667 = 2 door gran sport convert. FL = Flint --plant of manf. 209349 = Fisher body sequence number A-2 = Regal black body paint with a Black convert top Tr 29 = ?? you left off a number or I am missing this code 2L = 4 speed trans 5Y = Deluxe seat belts w = tinted windshield ?? The Acessory codes are something that I do no have except I recall the 2 LE may be in part for the 4 speed trans. and 5 y are the seat belts, but you need to verify that with others as I could be mistaken. Nice car.
The picture of the body plate shows W (tinted windshield) 2L (4 speeds) I don't know what the "E" stands for, maybe it's for the storage console? In 1967, it was for the manual a/c but I know it wasn't for that in 1966. I think that the 5Y is for the "deluxe seatbelts". This site shows a few codes for Chevelles. Some of them are the same for Buicks (and full size Buicks too) http://www.chevellestuff.com/tech/trim_codes.htm
Thanks alot guys!!!! FAST as a buick :TU: How much do you guys think this car is worth? They only made 431 of these in 66... and a triple black too... :beer Needs new paint and frame cleaned and paintet.. a little rust, a tuneup, new top... It has the BUICK tachometer!!! :grin: I will start my own thread next time... p
Shamone, Is it possible to write out the codes on the large Fisher Body Inspection sheet that are hidden under the black areas. Some of the writing is very hard to read, and I am sure it is much clearer on the original. And could you take a picture of the other side of the sheet. I decode quite a few different buildsheets and would like to add this information to my library. Thanks. Duane
Cant remove the big black stain... :ball: in the top... it goes of but takes the writing too... Why picture of the other side? its just the blank backside????? but here goes Option Code Power ? seat maybe? - power ? tailgate maybe? - split 2nd seat 1-K vacuum Dr 1-M two tone paint 1-O Power seat (bkt) 1-T Power windows 1-X Tran (FLR 3spd) 2-B A/C prov dealer 2-D Console (D-56 & 57) 2-E short console(man) 2-F Long console 2-G Delete Heater 2-H A/C (factory inst) 2-K Tran 4 speed 2-L short console (auto) 2-O Man-rr antenna 2-S power antenna 2-T tran - 300 auto 2-X Tran-super turbo 2-Z belt reveal w/h open mld 3-H rr dome lamp 3-S ext-belt reveal 4-C outside Remote mir 4-F w/h rkr,rr 1/4 ext 4-L rf drip, dr wdw, bdy rr 4-N belt reveal & w/h mldg 4-T ext (bdy sd, w/h open) 4W mldg-deluxe lwr 4-Y mld (dr hdr, roof drip) 4-Z gran sport 5-H vinyl top 1 or 2 DETAIL LT RT REJ correct qtrs correct tail pnl welding correct rockers bucket seats drip alignment p/w flags for laces t/light opening w/shield opening b/lite opening solder joints dor fit lid fit metal finish
Shamone, Thank you for listing everything, it really helps. The reason I asked for a picture of the other side is because I thought there was some information there. The later years, 69-72, have the options that actually came on the car printed on the reverse side. I didn't know the 66 sheets were blank. Again, thanks for the help. Duane
Thats the most beautiful thing I have ever seen , I'm going to go and take my carpets out right now!!!ray:
