Awesome. That's the one that was in the front spring?
can anyone point out the stuff im looking for, have seen a few things but got no idea what im looking for, is there a previous thread???
It'd take an hour to describe it. And then you'd have to have an understanding of option codes. The important one is the line XX7=M11, M20, N66, U21, XS6.
This means Sandman = Console, 4spd, Rally Rims, Cluster Assembly Instruments, Bucket seats.
All the boxes tell you what the car had originally fitted. Some are the last 3 digits of the part number (yes there was logic behind part numbers) and others are 2 letter codes for the components, you often see them as stickers on wiring harnesses, throttle cable, instruments etc. You can see in box 110 the letters QX which in this case should be the 140MPH/225kM/h speedo. QA in box 62 is the yello or black painted letters you see on original rocker covers (it means high comp 253) BLK means black, STD means whatever is STD for the car. - means it doesn't have any eg box 32 for armrests. There are many others like RUB for rubber floor covering etc.
Very cool... thanks BuickZZ and Blocker.

Cheers guys, that was a very interesting
The ones I thought were interesting...
Box 4 - wonder what needed a handwritten Yes. (Found this one "Seat Seperator" maybe the rear floor mount)
Box 27 - Stone guard --- is that the stuff sprayed inside the rear halves of the front guards?
Box 31 - the question has been asked if a HQ Belmont S/M retained the rubber floor coverings. Obviously yes...
Box 34 - Factory Side Windows
Box 50 - no radio
Box 56 - no door handles
Box 116 - was this a Black grille. Where does it say black headlight surrounds?
Box 152 - Is the steering wheel code different from the GTS for the centre.
Box 160 - Is this the lower blackouts under the doors?
Box 179 - When did they not polish the car? haha on a taxi...
