kwh 69gs. Hello from Georgia !! I have a 69gs 400 stage 1 convertible 4 speed(muncie21) purchased lase year. Had Buick's in my younger years. (little older now) It's has been ckeck to be 1 of 77 built that year would like to know for sure, if anyone can help. Also the paint code is 40 cameo cream. had to fix a lot of problems but still a nice car. Thanks kwh69gs .
If you are looking to verify it is actually a Stage 1 you will need to find the codes on the block, it should be "RS" and your Vin should match the numbers stamped on the block and on the 4 speed case. The carb. was also Stage 1 specific along with the distributor. You are correct, there were only 77 4-speed Stage 1 GS's built in 1969. All of them built in the Flint Michigan plant designated by an "H" in your VIN.
thanks ! Mike, I have checked the Vin# it has the H it has the RS stamped on the block . With age I thank a few than have been upgraded new carb. . I'll have to check the distributor. I don't know for sure or where to check but been told only 1 of the 77 built that year was cameo cream paint code 40. Mike, great 68! had one in 69.
Currently there is no way to verify that only 1 of the 77 were painted cameo cream that year. There were 21 available standard colors that year but it is possible.
is this your car: http://v8buick.com/index.php?threads/1969-gs-stage-1-4-speed-convertible.198306/#post-1590293 http://v8buick.com/index.php?threads/1969-stage-1-4-speed-convertible-at-mecum-indy.204632/ http://v8buick.com/index.php?threads/1969-gs-stage-1-4-speed-convertible.198306/ If so, it IS 1/77...
