    I'm assuming the 315 horsepower version? It would be interesting to know. Mine came with the 285 horsepower engine but the original engine is gone.

    Sorry, but I don't think anyone does. Especially since half of the microfiche is in Wayne Roberts' hands and the other half is in Sloan's.

    Can I contact Sloan or Wayne Roberts to get it? How do I do that?

    Sure you can...the research is NOT cheap. Sloan is $15 for 15 minutes research fee. This is for the first have of 1970 production . I have no idea how much Wayne would charge, or if he would even do it.

    The Buick --- A Complete History by Terry Dunham lists
    1970 Skylark Model 44467 Convertible Coupe ----- 4,954
    But there's no distinction between high compression or manual / auto

    I just moved so things are in disarray. That being said, I know my paperwork is not lost in an abyss. If you feel the need to give me a nudge, please feel free to do so.
