Where did you get your production figures? Cuz I have some docs from Flint and it says they made a couple hundred Stage 1 stick/AC cars. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

What do your figures show for '70 Stage 1 four speed converts, with & without A/C? Thanks

[442w30]

22 Stage 1 ragtops had the 4-speed/AC combo. And one was a similar combo but with a 3-speed.

[sixtiesmuscle]

Thanks. Where does this figure come from? Is there an official website that has all of the Stage 1 combos posted?

[442w30]

One of the Buick guys went to the Sloan Museum and gathered all the data, then put it in a chart, so I bought it. I can only go by its accuracy because, of course, there's still an element of human error when transcribing data.

But it's a cool resource for numbers like color and configurations. I think it's also unique in that some combos (like AC depending on engine) can be determined, and I suspect it's due to how Buick grouped options compared to other GM brands.

That's pretty good info.
Is it through extrapolation,or documented production numbers?

[sixtiesmuscle]

Thanks again. Where can this chart be purchased?

I don't really know what the original documents look like, but I'd be willing to bet they're hard numbers or percentages, rather than extrapolated info. Here's where you can learn more:
