    Are you sure this is right?

    ST72 is a 1972 modelyear car, and that 434347 in front of FL for Flint should be totally different. Could you post the VIN please?

    TR 138 is black vinyl

    26 = Stratomist Blue
    B = Black vinyl roof or black convertible top (since I can't figure out the type of car)

    11a = build in the first week of the eleventh month, that'll be November 1971

    Fisher didn't change their cowl plate codes like Buick changed the VIN codes in 1972.

    Harle -

    That's a cowl plate, not the VIN.

    According to the cowl, it's a 1972 (ST 72) Buick GS coupe (43437) built in Flint (FL1).

    The 'A51' is for bucket seats, and as Erik stated, they're black.

    The VIN should look something like 4G37@2H###### where '@' would represent the motor option and ###### is the serial number (no relation to Fisher Body number on the cowl).

    Values for '@' are
    K - 350-4
    U - 455-4
    V - 455-4 Stage1

    '72

    If you are interested, I know this guy. I have sold a car to him. The owners name is Keith McCracken. He lives close to me in Florida (Orlando area). He deals in all kinds of cars(broker). He appears to be a honest individual. He told me he only deals with documented cars. If you need to speak with him, I will give you his cell phone number.

    Was the spoiler an option or is that aftermarket?

    A spoiler could be ordered on any Flint-built coupe in 1972.

    Sloan could tell you if it left the factory with the spoiler :)
