1970 toronado std or deluxe GT

coppertopgmc · 09-28-2006, 03:33 PM

I have a 1970 toronado GT. The vin. shows the car as a 39487 but the body plate shows the car as a 39687 series. the cars engine was gone when i recieved the car but i have checked the code and vin on the tranmission and it matches the vin on the car. also the body plate paint code matches the azure blue of the paint in the trunk and under the paint different place on the car.( car was repainted to a different than the original color) so I dont think the body plate has been changed. so do I have a std GT or deluxe GT. My parts car has the 39487 on both the vin and body plate, but I have heard that sometimes oldsmobile vin and body plates didnt always match.

If your body plate shows 9687, then you have a Deluxe. I don't know why Olds didn't reflect the 9687 in the VINs. They did that with some 442s, too.
