You may have seen the car then. It stayed in that area it's whole life. We bought it from a technician that worked at Paul Batt Buick. K/S Auto worked on the car in the 90's.

There's a good chance I did. Didn't Laks branch out into a bunch of different brands, such as Acura, etc? If so, perhaps you could contact them to see if they have any memorabilia lying around from the old days....

I asked around today and i found out that the our owners father and brother owned the chevy dealer and i will ask him if there is anything they might have.
Do you happen to know the name of the tech from Paul Batt as i also worked there many years ago.

Jim69Z,

Thanks for looking into this for me, I really appreciate it. I would give my eye teeth if they still had records somewhere.

John Schaefer was the tech at Paul Batt that I bought it from. He is still around NY somewhere. I think he works night shift at another dealer since Paul Batt closed. I've talked to him once breifly since we got the car back.

Have you seen the Oct. '69 Laks Chevy ad on this page below?.
Maybe your Biscayne was one of the remaining 69's w/ huge discounts!.

Longshot worth confirming and sorry if I asked you this already but what's the build plant of your L72 car Zach?.
Considering the proximity to the Oshawa Canada B-Body plant, it'd be all magical if the car was Canadian built thus GM Canada Vintage paperwork available!.
