This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy..

    The VIN tells you it’s a ‘70 GS455 built in Flint. It looks like you’re missing a digit after the H, it’ll give a vague idea of when it was built. Your trim tag under the hood will tell you a lot more-interior color and type, paint color, roof color if it’s painted or vinyl. The original transmission code (BA, BB) will tell you if the car is a Stage 1, as will the engine if it’s original. If you can find a build sheet or get papeerwork (from whom depends on the build date/VIN) that will tell you options, rear gear ratio, etc. Welcome! Post pics!

    Nice looking car! Contact Sloan to get the report being that it's an early '70. I understand their staffing/turnaround time is limited right now. The report will tell you exactly what options it originally had, the dealership it was sold to, invoice price/date, etc. Well worth the $.

    For information about a specific vehicle, we maintain Buick factory production records for 1970 and 1972 through 1976. This information comes from microfilm records donated by Buick Motor Division. For a complete list of VINs available, click here. VIN Documentation does not include owner history or window sticker reproductions.

    VIN reports feature the same information as found on Buick Motor Division's invoice forms. All reports list options, invoice amount, invoice date, color, trim, key codes, order number, and dealer number. A copy of the wholesale car order form is also included. Using the wholesale car order form, you are able to “decode” the options and accessories which came original to the vehicle as it was produced by the factory.
