    Question New Guy With a Question

    Hello, Buick Aficionados! If I may try your knowledge base for verification, I have an old Buick Special that has me a bit puzzled.
    I've had this car for well over ten years and just came upon some stunning information while trying to restore her.
    1967 Buick Special 2 dr. thin pillar.
    My VIN and Body Plate don't match, V6 on one tag, V8 on the other.
    I don't have holes for Special emblems up front, or rivets for trim on the body.
    One fender does have the holes high for a Special's fender vents, but that's it.
    The other fender has holes low for fender vents like the Skylark.
    The body has three holes in the rear on either side for emblems.
    I have Power Steering, Power Brakes, and it appeared to have a smog pump at once, pulley still there.
    It is originally White and has the 340ci., with a ST300 and dual Exhaust w/Chrome tips.
    Bench seats with a Blue interior
    I had purchased some emblems for the Special and even got the horizontal vents before I realized that they didn't match up.
    I thought I might need to drill some holes but that didn't make any sense.


    Is it possible I'm looking at a 1967 California 340 GS here?
    VIN has a Z in it for Fremont, Ca
    Looking at the Body Plate on the bottom, where options should be listed are the numbers, [5146 15 (168 or 188 or 1??)]
