Here are some photos of my new ride. Please help me decode this crazy "build sheet"? I don't know if it s a build sheet but it has some good info. Also here is the protect o plate and some engine and casting codes off of various parts inside. Please help me compile a good list of information about what this car was originally so I can take it closer to its roots. Thank you!


The car, so you know what it looks like.

Build sheet? I don't know what it is but it looks like it has a bunch of information I cannot figure out how to translate.

Build sheet two? I don't know what it is but it looks like it has a bunch of information I cannot figure out how to translate.

Protect-O-Plate

Shot of the Vin.

Shot of the body plate, looks a little fishy I know.

Motor, transmission, or some kind of casting photo I have yet to ID and I don't know what it means.

Wow. Talk about nice documentation. The block and trans VIN derivatives match the VIN, so that's really nice. The broadcast card matches the cowl tag, and shows A01 Tinted Windows and C60 A/C. Nov 17, 1969 build date on the broadcast card. Trim code 934 is a gold bucket seat interior. Paint code 50 is Bamboo, and the "F" indicates the car originally had a brown vinyl top. Color "H" in the lower LH box on the Code B sheet shows gold stripes.

Amazing thank you so much for the information! I had to replace some small plastic pieces recently for the shoulder strap bolt covers. Where would I begin a search for a good paint match for the interior? Is the 934 code the gold color of the dash etc.? And wow a vinyl top! I had no clue!

joe_padavano

934 is the interior trim code. The interior paint colors are found in the Product Information Manual.

Rear end code is interesting considering it's not a w-30.

Vinyl top would have looked like this:

What you are calling build sheet one is not from your car.

i noticed a 3-17 production date and on the top it says production code "b" 1970.and model 8669 would be a 98 luxury sedan.

I have to say your car wears that color so well. The gold on that tan is just awesome. I love an A body without a vinyl top. Especially an Olds. I wouldn't put it back. I love that your car does not have W-30 stripes. I have always liked the thinner stripes. I am never really a fan of the wing but your car looks great. Beautiful cool tough *** car. I love it.

What is the story on how you found it and bought it etc? Always an Olds fan?

joe_padavano

Good catch! I missed that completely. That sheet doesn't go with this car. Having sheets for other cars is not unheard of.

I was also surprised by the TM axle code, but given that the car has been redone, who knows what else was changed on it.

If you have a moment please post the transmission code from the side of the transmission (should be a two letter code starting with "O") and the carb numbers as shown in the images below.
See on your other post that "the current carb is a Buick 1972 Rochester" so please just provide the trans ID.

cherokeepeople

well 66sportcoupe caught it first.

I still stick with my points. Beautiful car. No better looking tan gold car that I have seen. It has obviously had adjustments to it. Wing hood etc. Tasteful great looking resto. Look at that. Great looking thin pinstripe all the way down. Not some screwed up W wanna be stripe. Not some non matching parts will happen.

Enjoy your car. Drive it like it is an Oldsmobile. Your dog likes it too. That says plenty. You have a great looking hopefully great running car. Go with that

We all can get stars in our eyes and then pass over key details.

That happened to me with women when I was a young 'un.

Very nice car, congrats..

Crawling around under my ride last night working on getting my heater working. Here are the transmission data plate photos someone asked me about. This thing looks like someone took a wire brush to it!

Thanks for posting the transmission ID photo.
From previous pictures we know it's the original transmission because the VIN number stamped on the trans matches the VIN of the vehicle.
The "OG" code is correct for a 1970 442.

A very nice car!
