First let me say a hello to all of you. My question is

I recently purchased a 1975 Buick Riviera from an old couple. Its

a 1 owner car and it looks like its been repainted at some point.

I am planning on restoring the car but need to know the original

paint that was on the car. Only info I have is the VIN which is

4287T5H467309

If anyone can help with finding this information I would

appreciate it .


Thanks

Typically the vin number does not have that info, what ya need is the name plate. I think its located on the firewall driver's side of the car, but I am not sure.

I believe the cowl tag is located on top of the cowl just under the passenger side of the windshield.

Adam is correct about the data plate. That being said, there is some information that can be gleaned from the VIN.

4 = Buick
Z = Riviera
87 = 2 door hardtop
T = 455 V8 4-bbl
5 = 1975
H = Flint, MI assembly plant
The remainder is the sequential production number of the car.

thanks for the help, it was a 11u
