    You guys might like this picture of a 72 order sheet. Thanks to Stanley for supplying me with the images..the page takes a while to load so be patient. Near the bottom.

    Now if I could only find a 71 in as good a condition....

    Very cool -

    Mind if I use it on the registry website?

    I asked permission before I put it up on my website for everyone to see, since Stanley agreed to that I don't see why not, it's cool piece to have and very good scan as well.

    Have you noticed the sales code for 'BB' is wrong?

    I reads B2 + B7 when it should read B3 + B7.

    If you'll notice, B7 is only available with a 4 speed manual floor shift.

    Just a little bit of trivia for you...

    Good call...I never noticed as I was looking more for the convertible(being a 72 after all) than the Stage 1 stuff.

    Good old GM......:Dou:

    Marco did you also notice that the photo of the 72(w/hood tach) shows the J5 option of rear shoulder belts. Yet that option doesn't show up on the revised order sheet. Man you must be getting old!! I picked that up with my 48 yr old bi-focals and I know you are younger than me!!!:)

    Bill - I'll have to look on one of my other sheets (not REV #1) to see if the J5 option was available in the early model year.

    ...hey, are you coming to Holmdel. if you went to Stage1 Automotive, this is closer :Brow:

    And, to quote someone's signature here, growing older is mandatory, growing up is optional :)

    No, won't make it to Holmdel, even though its closer that Rob's!! I already paid for a 2 week fishing trip to Quebec. Leaving the evening of 6/6 and returning on 6/22. My boy got out of the navy last yr and my daughter is taking leave(just got back from the Gulf a few weeks ago-also Navy) and this is gonna be our get together before she goes back to sea duty. Wife and other daughters stay at home:Brow:

    So anyway, have a good time there, maybe I can make it next yr or if something is going on later in the yr.

    Hope it doesn't rain that weekend, thats all we've been having here in Pa--probably the same in Jersey!!

    Take it easy,

    BB Sales Code on 72 Order Sheet

    Marco,

    I'm glad you brought that "BB" sales code error up. As you know, I got my Sloan info last week, along with an order sheet. As I read the sheet, I was like, "What the :eek2:?!?!?!?! "

    Isn't it funny how all these years have passed and no one ever caught that? Or cared enough to change it.....:Dou:

    The order sheet

    Hi all..

    Tim is right..I don't mind if you post the GS order sheet on the Registry website.

    Tim was kind enough to include a mention of where he got it...a typical Buick-guy touch.

    As some of you know, I have a few 'untouched' order sheets in my file..Skylark, Sportwagon and I think I have a LeSabre one, as well, if anyone wants to see one.

    Why I have them is a story for another day.

    Enjoy!

    Stanley
