Finally got around to looking at the receipts, manuals that came with my '68 Skylark convertible. Need your assistance in decoding the P-O-P: 172 Y1 444678K110462 PP228 LL 1 ME117 12 4 8 Thanks in advance (I do have to get a digital camera for times like these) :Comp:
172 Y1 I believe that this is the dealer code for the selling dealership. Do a search on Dealer Codes to find a link to the web site that has the list of known dealer codes VIN Buick Skylark Custom cvonv. 1968 built at the Kansas City, Missouri plant PP = 350ci 4bbl V-8 10.25:1 compression 228 = the shift at the engine plant during which the engine was built, for quality control purposes LL = 2.73 open rear axle 1 = car built in January ME = Super Turbine 300 2-speed automatic trans 117 = shift built 1 = power brakes 2 = Air conditioning 4 = AM radio 8 = power steering
I think the 172 is the trim number and the Y1 is for Cameo cream body color with a white top. I will have to check my books when I get home.
Ok, I checked my info at home Trim 172 = White bucket seats Y1 is Cameo cream paint with a white convertible top. :beer
