ta66 Member Registered: 07/22/08 Posts: 13	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

Thriller Member Registered: 09/06/03 Posts: 2395 Loc: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada	Originally Posted By: ta66 4287T5H467309 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. _________________________ Derek Thille BCA #39416, CBC, MBCC #1984 66 Wildcat Custom Coupe - "Ellie" / 62 Special Convertible / 61 Invicta Convertible / 56 Special 4-door Sedan / 52 Roadmaster 4-door / 41 Special 41SE Sedan / 29 McLaughlin Buick Model 51 2006 Buick Rainier - "Ruby" / 2005 GMC Sierra K2500 - "Max" (the hauler) Thriller's Buick Page
