Just so I have a further understanding of the car. Is it possible that anyone could decode the BBF tag for me? ST70 48469FL1 082336BDY TR604 55 55 PNT 10D Based on the Protect-O-Plate, I had originally thought the car was built in November of '69. However, it turns out that's the date the car was sold to Dalton Buick of Nebraska. On the driver's door is a blue GM tag that reads 10/69 and then the VIN which matches the VIN on the dash behind the windshield. So, I'm guessing the car was built October of '69. When were the new model year cars beginning assembly? I'm assuming this is a very early model year '70 Electra 225? I know the Electra 225s may not be as desirable as the GS and other two door coupes of the day. But, I dig 'em immensely. Always liked the Camaro, Mustang, Riviera, Charger, Challenger, AMX and such. But always have been drawn to the much bigger, living room sofas on wheels of the day. Also, if anyone can shed light. I have some numbers from the block, intake manifold and valve covers is someone could lend a hand decoding. I'd greatly appreciate it. It looks as though the car is complete, not molested. Just want to be sure the parts in the car are mostly what came with the car. Back of block. 455 1231738 Intake Manifold front J 5 8-1231718-E Driver side valve cover 135 1232069 Passenger side valve cover 136 1232068 Thank you again, Paul
ST70 48469FL1 082336BDY TR604 55 55 PNT 10D ST70 = 1970 model year 4 = Buick 84 = Electra 225 69 = 4 door hardtop (I think) FL1 = Flint Assembly plant 082336 BDY = sequential Fisher body number TR 604 = Dark Sandalwood interior 55 55 PNT = Cornet Gold painted top and bottom color 10D = 4th week in October build date
10D is the fourth week of October (‘69) and 55 55 means Cornet Gold body and roof. The FL1 means Flint Assembly Plant. TR604 is your seat color and type. Patrick
