Authenticity reference

Body number plate GS455 style and body-tag fields

fraud detection · documented

1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 in Desert Gold; exact GS Stage 1 exterior context. 1970 Buick GS Stage 1

Reference Details

Common issue
A GS455 body style code alone does not prove Stage 1 equipment; Stage 1 still requires engine-code and car-specific paperwork/inspection corroboration.
Confidence
documented
Correct value
1970 GS455 body-number plate style codes listed as 44637 for two-door coupe hardtop and 44667 for two-door convertible; TeamBuick notes Stage I option available under the GS455 style-code row.
Where to check
Body number plate on the firewall, just below the rear edge of the hood; source says the plate identifies model year, division, series, body style, body assembly plant, body number, trim combination, paint code, and build date code.
