3 = Oldsmobile
36 = Cutlass line, V8 engine (an odd number like 35 would have signified a six cylinder)
87 = Holiday Coupe (ie, 2dr Hardtop)
0 = 1970 model year

Unfortunately, Olds didn't start putting the exact engine code in the VIN until the 1972 model year.

holiday coupes are pretty common arent they?
