Welcome to the forum!

Post a pic of the sheet and I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses.

P.S. If your client wants to put a big block chebby in it don't ask for any suggestions, ha, ha

That's actually a broadcast card used by Fisher Body. It has body-related options but not chassis or drivetrain info.

Build date was Aug 16 (MO 08, DAY 16).
Car is a Cutlass Supreme convertible (34267)
Interior trim is ??? (Don't have my ref books handy)
Paint is Sunfire Yellow (56)
Top is Black (B)
A31 = Power windows
A51 = Bucket Seats
AK1 = Shoulder Belts
C60 = Air Conditioning
U58 = AM/FM stereo radio
