1971 Skylark Model 43337-Two-Door Sport Coupe.
444029 650242 are option codes which I don't have (because riviera didn't put that on trim tags)

wonderfull, thank you very much, someone took the time to swap a buick 350 4bbl in it, not complaining at all either...

[urbancowboy0307]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but all the links you posted are for Rivs. will most of the codes work for Skylarks as well?

I'd like to decode the tag on my '67 and I don't mind doing the work myself, though I'll post it here if someone just absolutely loves looking at build tags :Brow:

for 67 most of the info can be found in the first sections of the master parts illustration books, these are bookmarked and you can find info by year.
they have the model nos/ trim codes /color codes etc etc for all the Buick models 64-thru 72


The decode is written for boattail rivs, but does mostly apply to all 71-73 buicks The layout is the same for all models, ( except for the extra body option codes on some)
The sales forms and the charts in the master parts books - have the model nos/ trim codes /color codes etc for all the buick models 64-thru 72

The master options lists give availability for other models but does only include riv options and some codes are different d for use on other mdoels (for example you wont see a 350 engine option, or any trans option/power steering tilt wheel disc brakes etc all The rivs are 455 auto and have much of the options that is others as stnd equipment)
IT DOES HAVE SOME OTHER MODEL ORDER FORMS WITH PRICES AND SALES CODES

For 71 all model options and prices are in the pocket price directory and further is available for all models in
