I have a 1969 442 thatbwaa made at the Oshawa Ontario plant and I was wondering if anyone new where I could find the production numbers. I would really like to narrow it down to how many of those were holiday couples with 4 speed, 3.91 gears, bucket seats, vinyl roof, air conditioning, floor console and Trophy blue metallic paint.

Any information is appreciated.

 

maybe GM of Canada? They have records like Pontiac Historic Services.

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

records exist for production by body type (hardtop. Coupe, or convertible) and by transmissions but there are no other records based on individual options or paint color.

 

Here is a guy that can get you what you need I had him do a paper on my 68 cutlass He has access to G M documents at the Oshawa Plant it's Frank at 1905-440-7618 his web site is www.vintagevehicleservices.com Good luck

 

GM of Canada only send you to Vehicle Heritage site and they want $125 for info.

 

they do charge for the info, when i got my 65 search done i also got options and paint info, key codes etc

 

One other note. 1969 Canadian made 442s used the Chevy 12 bolt rear end for which 3.91 gears were never an option. Perhaps your car has 3.73 gears? VVS can tell you how your car was equipped.

 

 

This page from the 1969 SPECS booklet shows the ratios offered for the Canadian-built cars with the Type C axle. See the notes in the box under "Axle Option Numbers".

 

those are my docs for one of my 1969 442s now owned by my buddy Randy aka Fred Flinstone.

 

Great info guys. Thanks! I did a little research in the Olds 442 Restoration guide and found codes for the rear axle. My code (TO) revealed that it has the 3.91 gears. It all looks original to the car. Could it have been a special order?

 

The Type O diff was not used at Oshawa in 1969. It can't be original to the car.
