Available Documentation

Website.

Sloan can also provide all sales codes for these years.
- 1969 & 1971 - No 'third party' documentation is available,
so the following Buick documents are proof - window sticker, Protect-O-Plate,
build sheet, import sheet, Body Order Production Final (gas tank), or Glove Box option card. Duane Heckman

- Please Note - For any year, if you attest to either the 'matching VIN'
engine code (ending in 'S') or the matching transmission with codes
'BB' or 'OW' in 1971 only, that is a Stage1.
I am not looking for proof or pictures. If you state the numbers/stampings indicate
a factory Stage1 car, please register.
If you have an authenticated factory Stage1 car, please
E-Mail me the following information.
- Owner Name, address, telephone number, E-mail address and Web page (if applicable
and you want it listed). Please tell me when you first purchased your car (CCYYMMDD).
- Full VIN and COWL plate information, specifically Fisher Body #, trim code,
paint code, and cowl build date. Also, list anything special about your car you'd like to share (restored, basket case, drag car, etc...)
- All option codes are depicted on the 'New Car Order forms' listed
Here.
- Source of Documentation (Sloan, Window Sticker, Canadian Import Sheet, Matching 'SS' block, matching 'BB' transmission, etc.)
Some final points to consider -
- Again, NO personal information is contained on the registry for general viewing,
only a first name and a last initial. The car serial # (last six) is not displayed,
nor is the location of the car. Privacy is important.
- I would be great for those with Excel knowledge to send me an Excel file containing your
registry information already filled in.
- For those who have the 5-digit dealer code (xx-yyy), please include the dealer name/address
so we can continue to build the most complete Buick dealer information database possible.
The most current list can be located at the
Buick GSX Registry Website
- I am able update this registry once a week, so please be patient if you send me any information.
- Matching numbers is NOT important, only that it left the factory with the stage1 performance option.
- If you need assistance, please contact me. I'm here to help!
- No guarantee is made for any information contained in the registry.
- Tell your Friends! THANK YOU!
