    I recently had Sloan do a documentation of my 73 GS and decided to try to get a reproduction window sticker for it.I contacted Mike Trom to see if he could do one for me.I am not sure if the sticker is different or the same as a 70-72 GS.I have searched the web looking for a pic of a 73 window sticker but can't seem find one.I told Mike that if I have to I would accept one of the 70-72 with my info.The other problem is that I know all the options but need the codes for specific things like P/S,PDB,Dual sport mirrors,special color paint,4 spd etc.If anyone knows a place that has them or can furnish a copy to me it would be greatly appreciated.I know that the 73s are not as desirable but,I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
    Thanks,Pat

    Pat,

    I have sent an e-mail to Andy at the Sloan Museum to see if he has any info that will help us with your sticker. I will let you know as soon as I hear back from him.


    Bruce,

    Drop me an e-mail with a scanned copy of your Sloan info from your GS and I will work up a draft copy of your window sticker. I will also include some bonus production info with your sticker..:TU:

    Mike,
    I will email you the copy of my paperwork from Sloan for my GS so you can see the options that were available on it.I don't know what the codes are for the options are or the special order paint.I seen the codes list for 70-72 cars in the Guide to Buick GS books and don't know if they are the same for 73 cars.You will know better than I.If you want me to send them to you personally send me an adress and I will get it out tomorrow to you.I really appreciate the effort.
    Thanks again,Pat :beer

    Rusty,
    Thanks for the offer to help.I appreciate it that guys on here are so willing to help.If there is any way to send me a copy I would gladly accept it.Or,You might send it to Mike T so he knows what they look like.I am assuming 73 and 74 window stickers will look the same.If I can do anything to help you out feel free to ask.
    Thanks,Pat

    Rusty,

    I would love to get a copy of those window stickers. A color scan or copy of the '74 would be great if at all possible. All of my info stops at '72, so I have never seen a '73 or '74 GS sticker.

    Hey Pat, I sold a 73 Century to a fellow in NC not long ago and I gave him the original window sticker and another one for a 73 Stage car. I can have him make copies so that you can see.
    email me if interested and I'll make contacts.

    Fernando,
    Any help at this point will be greatly appreciated.As far as I'm concerned it will be for the benefit of everyone,since Mike will be able to help out others with the info we can come up with and making window stickers for 73-74 owners too.I think the thing that will help out the most is the prices and codes for certain options.
    Thanks for the generous offer to help out.I know that we will appreciate all the help we can get.

    Pat,

    Things are coming together. I just received complete price/code lists from the Sloan Museum today (thanks Andy :TU: ). Apparently there were two different price lists in 73 and I now have both. Once I get a few copies of original stickers I can work on duplicating them.

    I will contact the Sloan Museum to see if they have the '74 price/code lists at a later date.

    Here is a teaser about your '73 GS window sticker. Using the info that you sent me on your car the MSRP or Sticker price was $4,625.45 (this does not include the destination charge). As you see it is higher than the "Dealer Price" listed on the Sloan info )$3956.89.

    Any copies of '73-'74 window stickers (any body style) would be greatly appreciated.
