The number of the vin that matches the block is the last 5 digits. I own a 71 Buick Skylark 2 door sedan(post coupe) that also has a column shift with bucket seats. It seems kind of strange but there is a center glove box type storage compartment that sits between the bucket seats(not a shifter type consol) that looks factory although I have never seen another like it. Moreover, the vin sugests that this is a L6 250ci engine, but the engine block does indeed match the vin and Buick has claimed that not all in line 6 cyl marked vin plates had a six cyl engine instaled at the factory. The only way I could verify the bucket seats to the bench seat was to examine the seat belt bolts for a third lap belt that may have been removed and bolt head scars from removing and reinstalling the bolts.
