    The inline 6 was the base engine in the Skylark. 350 was an option, and I don't think the VIN changes for the engine option.

    thanks for the help. I see someone in this thread said that the skylark came in base inline six and that the 350 was a option for that model and that the vin number would not have reflected that option because i bought it with a 350 engine inside of it. does anybody know if thats true or not? Once again thanks for the help.

    Yes-- I think this is true. I have a publication from the factory that says your number could have equipped with the inline six or a Buick 350.
