Ernie, can you post a picture of your body tag? The style number should start with something other than 437. I suspect it is 434 which would indicate a V8 car. The VIN would only show a V6 car if...

It was marketing gimmick supposedly available only in California in 1967 and 1968 and then nationally in 1969. They were built at all plants including 59 built at the plant in Oshawa ON, Canada for...

oY 27968 is probably the engine serial number from the driver side of the engine (it should be stamped in and not raised like a casting number) and should acutally read 6Y127968 (last 8 digits of the...
It would depend on if that number is a frame serial number or an engine serial number. 1930 if it is an engine serial number and 1931 if it is a frame serial number. If the car had a straight 6...
Only one reason I can think of for why you would put a Skylark VIN on a GS400 and I'm sure the original owner would love to have the car back. Before you do anything, have the current owner do a VIN...
The plant code from the body tag is BF, which is Fremont, CA. It looks like the rivets holding the VIN tag on are incorrect. By 1967 the rosette rivets were being used for VIN tags. My data shows...

I'm guessing those are probably option codes as well. I have listings for 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 but unfortunately none for 4. Any pictures of the car? Does it have the trim for two-toning of the roof?...
The Kansas City plant used this type of designation for option codes. I've never found a method to decode it. Was the car built at Kansas City?
Trim 773 = Grey Nylon Cloth and Grey Leather, available on models 75 and 75R
S is the accessory option code for Power Seat Adjuster - 6 way

The picture of the first stamped number shows the engine serial number where 4 = LeSabre and F = 1959. The picture of the second stamped number shows the engine production code of 3F which indicates...
The trim tag in your other thread shows paint code MC which is for Burnished Saddle Metallic (M) lower and Arctic White (C) upper two-tone paint.
Casting numbers would be raised, but I'm guessing the block numbers you list are stamped. 4D1136630 looks like the stamped engine serial, which would match the serial number of the donor car and...
