Welcome aboard!!:beers:
Are you looking to decode the various trim options on your firewall tag? If so, can you post a photo of it? If not, please list them in order that they appear, ie: 2A 3B 4C...

I'd choose the 71 Mach 1 I used to own, 4 speed, 429 Super Cobra Jet, Drag Pack. It was used in the Ford new car show in Oakville Ontario way back in the day.

I have reason to believe that it...

Those are, unfortunately, made from unobtanium. As far as I know, they are not being reproduced by anyone. Therefore, your only source would be from a parts car. Expect to pay a princely sum for...

Ah, you might very well be onto something there, as my car does have the rocker panel moldings. Or could it be wheel moldings, which I also have. Or possibly something simple like a hood...

Greetings, I figure that I'd re-introduce myself, since my last visit was on Dec 1, 2007. :jeez: :waving: I haven't been away from Buicks, just spent too much time either working, or on other...

I am reasonably certain that 2P is a push button AM radio. However, my car also has the 4S option code, but does not have the tilt column. Since I have the original dealer invoice, I am 99.876%...

From the photos, it would be a coupe. The car should also have the boxed convertible frame, which was standard on the GS. :thumbsup:

No snow shovelling needed Dave, I woulda just plowed right on through regardless. (on foot of course)

I figured a small "tip" was in order for your efforts, that and I recall you saying the wheel...

Geez, you Johnny come lately's finally found this place, lol. Been hanging around here off and on for a couple years now. I go by another name on other boards.

Welcome aboard y'all.

Hi David,
That 300 aluminum intake of mine, which is sitting in your garage, cost me $103.00 plus shipping.
I've been looking for one for a while now, most have been going for around $100.00 and...

Are the valve covers rounded rather than squared off??

From the description you've given, it really sounds like the Wildcat 355 motor, which means 355 ft. lbs of torque. This was the 4 bbl version...

Well, to add my $0.02, my 65 GS attracts a great deal of attention whenever I take it to a cruise night. It's the only one that I know of in a city of 675,000.

Most people here ask me what kind of...

That's so cool. I'd heard about that some time ago, but your pics prove it, thanks for sharing them

Tim, the factory big block for a 65 Skylark was the 401 nailhead, available as part of the Gran Sport option package only. With the GS, you got a crossflow rad, boxed convert frame, bucket seats,...

In two words......CASH ONLY. graemlins/beers.gif
Money talks.....well you know the rest graemlins/smash.gif :rolleyes:

Welcome aboard Tim graemlins/wavey.gif

Finding some parts for your 65 Skylark can be a real challenge since there is not as much repro items as, oh say a Chevelle. Rear 1/4's for example, are...

Long read, sorry 'bout that.

It was about 3 & 1/2 years ago that the Buick bug contacted me. I had quit smoking in Jan. 2000, and found that I had some extra disposable income available in summer...

Ray, that is correct for a 62 Skylark 2 door coupe as shown here:

The letter in your VIN should tell you the manufacturing plant.

Hmmm, There is one car in Wichita that I must someday make the time to visit. I sold it in 1977, lost track of it, then found it again in 2003. It's not a Buick, but a 1971 Mustang Mach 1 with the...

This is going to sound real goofy, but do you leave your computer running 24/7/365? If so, here comes the goofy part:
close all programs, then try shutting it down, then re-start. It works for me...

Lawrence, I'm not 100% sure about your problem, but did you clear out all previous codes after you did the repairs? Seems to me that this step is necessary.

Can you please enlighten us as to year, make and model???

Merry Christmas to everyone graemlins/banana.gif graemlins/hurray.gif graemlins/wavey.gif

Hi Skyleezy,
I'll respond by going down your list item by item.
1. - To achieve 450-500 HP can be done with a Buick 455 with some cash outlay. Plus, the Buick 455 is about 75-100 lbs LIGHTER than a...

Hi, and welcome to the forum. Could you please enlighten us with the year and model you are having problems with. It will make it easier for someone to assist you.
