  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I was under the impression Sloan didn't have the 69 or 67 as well as the 71. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

    Pat,
    You are correct, the earliest info they have is for the first half of the 1970 model year, then they skip right over to the 72 model year.

    Wayne Roberts has the last half of the 1970 model year, and nothing is available for the 1971 cars.

    sparkplug,
    If you find the buildsheet for the 69 car I can decode it.

    I know you are a serious Buick nut, and I would not doubt what you say, but that is one HELL of a statement!!!! That would turn the 71 GS world upside down! Anything else you can add??????

    I just stumbled onto this thread, and since I own an undocumented 71 it has
    peaked my interest.

    Why would this information be in private hands and how would it have been aquired.
    Did buick give it way , throw it out, or maybe clipped.

    If it is out there, wouldn't it be valuable for sale to 71 owners or would that person use it to buy undocumented ones and sell them later as documented after publication

    I'm just wondering why someone would be sitting on this.

    Im sure it was either thrown out or discarded. Why someone is sitting on it is the $64,000 question. Only time will tell
