Wow, the Canadiens must have liked Trumpet Gold in 1969. My brothers Canadien 69 GS350 was Trumpet Gold as well. eh p

 

No convertibles? I live in Canada and i got my '69 GS convertible on Ebay from the U.S.

 

How many convertibles were built in the U.S. and shipped to Canada?My '69 Skylark convertible was built in Flint and shipped to and sold in Canada,as i said earlier i bought my '69 GS convertible from the U.S.Just wondering?

 

Hi jt , if it was sold new in Canada you can have it documented by GM Canada for 45can$

If I am reading the numbers correctly I show 132 '69 GS400 Convertibles went to Canada (From the Flint plant). It also looks like 25 cars were "exported".

 

Trumpet Gold Canadian built GS's:
GS400 Coupe =83
GS350 Coupe = 91

Antique Gold was the most popular Canadian built GS color;
GS400 Coupe = 205
GS350 Coupe = 191

Looks like you Canadian's loved your "Gold" colored cars back then.. :grin:

Many thanks for information.My car is sold as new here in Finland.I wonder how many these cars are import in Europe in 1969 ? My car has bucket seats,console,power discs brakes (front),front and rear stabiliser bars and power steering.Inside color is white.It has been black vinyl top as new.

 

Maybe your car was built in Switzerland ?
Is the speedometer in KM ?
Please post a few photos, including the engine bay.

 

My car is built in kenosha,Canada.V.I.N code is 4463791150803.Car has km speedometer.So it has been built for export ?

 

I think that's an I instead of a 1 for the Oshawa factory

 

Bad boattail youre right.I remembered plant wrong.I havent got any pictures about the car.It isnt finished yet.When I got it finished I try to send some pictures.
