I've just finished up Option lists/window sticker guide and a document decode guide for the Boattail Registry library. The document decode - gives information on decoding your boattail documents (vin,protect o plate, body plate numbers) and then matching them to the vehicle. The Boattail Option lists + window stickers , has full options for 71-73 boattails imprinted on the various window sticker forms and charts with full options and availability on Riviera and other full size models, and for comparison there are some Original Order forms with option pricing annotations - for other 71-73 Buicks. also included are some of your original and repro Boattail window stickers. both are at http://boattail-riviera-by-buick.com/library/owner info_manuals/owner info_manuals.php also for anyone who has Sandalwood interior there is some information you should be aware before ordering material that was put together with lots of discussion and help from John Farlin and Bob Bonto as well as Jeremy McEntire at http://boattail-riviera-by-buick.com/library/documents/documents.php let me know what think - I've already started working on part two of the decode guide which will get a bit deeper - more on engine, transmission, rear axle plus casting numbers, carbs, distributor numbers and decodes, date coding etc, if you have info that may help / or any thing you'd like to see included please let me know. Have a good day and a better day tomorrow Come see the Boattail Registry Rob
Most of the manuals and other GM stuff cover the full Buick line, if you just mean decode the break downs etc apply - specific option codes and stuff take look at the GSX and Stage 1 Registry sites.
Thanks Mark I have pretty much everything I have, posted now I'm still gathering info and working away on more detailed decode - also historical sales report. Summers coming, so I'll be getting out in the garage and doing yard work soon - will only working on this stuff on cold rainy days. Could use some inputs from others to get er done. any little bit of info anyone has helps
