Nate Hi Nate -

ST 70 is Style 1970 (1970 model year) 44467 is (4) Buick (44) Skylark Custom (67) 2-door convertible FL1 - Flint Built 083078 BDY - Fisher body number, Not related to VIN, but a serial number for the Flint Fisher body plant TR 285 - Trim number. :Do No: I cannot find 285 anywhere. 185 is pearl white buckets. Could this be it? 25 A PNT - Paint codes. Lower body code 25 is Gulfstream Blue and upper body code A is white vinyl top There is a third line that will be two numbers and a letter. This represents your final assembly date. The two numbers is the month and the letter is the week. Example 08A would be first week August, 08B would be second week August, etc...

Please double check your trim code. Thanks!

yep i read it wrong
it is 185

and the 3rd line is 10D

the printout from inside the dash says

assy. was on 10-22-69

"A" is white convertible top, 10D is the last week of October which is consistant with your date of 10/22:TU:

If you contact the Sloan Musuem they can provide all the information for you on this 1970 car through the VIN research.

Hi everyone! I just got my 66 skylark yesterday an would like a little help with the cowl tag. I understand most of it, but can't decipher the options on the bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

068 3785
ST 6644417 KAN 6008
TR 167 C
E 2X 4L 5Y

st 68 = 1968
44469 = Skylark Custom 4 Door Sedan
fl1 = Flint Plant
53600 body = Individual Body Number at the Fisher Body Plant
TR 133 = Champagne Cloth and Vinyl Bench Seat
G-G Paint = Ivory Gold Mist paint (no vinyl)

To my knowledge it is not possible to tell what the original rear end and transmission was from the Body plate information.
