Hi everyone,
I thought I'd see anyone with vehicles built close to mine. I have 09C in build date which translates to Week 3, Sept 1969(unless I missed something) for my 1970 442 convertible in plant E=Linden, NJ. Has paint code 99568 for Sebring Yellow and sequence from VIN of 111011.

 

I’m a few months off as mine was built the 2nd week of Dec 69.

 

Two weeks off of mine, as I have a 9A Linden car, also a 442 vert, though wearing black, as original, with white interior and top. Question: does your car have the original windshield? Looking to replace mine (non-original) and want to get correct date coding. Kindly advise.

 

My car doesn't have the original windshield as it was showing signs of age, so it's being replaced. While restoring, I haven't been that detailed like you are. Sounds like a beautiful 442!

 

Managed to track down another car a few months back up in VA, also made in the first week of September 1969. It has the original windshield and low miles, though just a Cutlass Supreme. Thus, have a pic of what the logo and date coding was as well as the type of glass - was PPG, made in June 1969 at their Creighton, PA plant. ECS Automotive can make for you with correct date coding.

 

My cowl tag does not have a a date code as far as I can tell. I do have the build sheet (found on top of fuel tank) and it has a Schedule No Date of 08 08-04. My guess is 8th 442 built on August 4, 1969? My VIN is 344870E100386.

 

Found an older forum member(hasn't posted in years: Toledobend) with an SX convertible built same week as mine with same paint oddity in coding the Sebring yellow. At least that's consistent. Wonder how close our VIN's were.
