    Ok so as I thought. The difference is the trim package?

    In '72, I believe it is engine + trim (+ the '350' emblem on the quarters next to 'Skylark')which comprise the 'Skylark 350' model. Incidentally, the '350' emblem was a carry over from the '68 GS 350.

    (quote)He's not saying that you can't get a 350 in a Skylark in 1970, which you obviously could.
    You just couldn't get a model of Skylark called a "Skylark 350" in 1970.(/quote)

    im still confused at the explanation given.
    its showing 4 diff models for skylark for 1970 package

    one of which is a skylark 350,code 35

    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    Alright, if you guys are waiting for an answer from me, I cannot help you hahaha. I don't know, and I'm definitely no expert. I merely understood what Hawken had stated, and tried to explain it in a clearer way. It doesn't make sense to me, either, but I believe he knows quite a bit more than I do, so I'm going to go with his explanation about there being no actual "Skylark 350" in 70-71 despite what the body code 35 says. I'm tapping out :D

    Lol I think that 35 code in 1970 as being a "Skylark 350" is what's in question here. My thought are what was stated earlier as being a "trim" package that is different from the custom. Main difference I see is the trim that follows the upper part of the door. I wasn't really concerned with the "options" meaning the car came with a 350 so it's a "Skylark 350" that's not what I'm saying at all. I believe it's just an appearance thing.

    Looks like it has a 12 bolt and maybe a TH350
