i was wondering if any one knows if there was ever a 1987 442 with the 8th vin a(y) not a 9 if not any one know how many if any cutlass were made with factory t tops...?

 

I don't think so.The 442s came with the 9 vin also i believe 5a heads. y vin are 7a heads.




'The 1983-84 Hurst/Olds and 1985-87 442's are distinguishable by there being a "9" as the engine code found in the 8th character of their VIN's. These were the only models to get the hotter VIN 9 307 cubic inch engine, and it was the only engine available. From 1983-1985, this engine was flat-tappet valvetrain, and rated at 180 hp/240 ft·lbf torque. In 1986, the 307 engine received a roller-camshaft valvetrain and new swirl-port heads to improve economy and low-end torque. HP dropped to 170, with torque climbing to 250. The 1985 442 used an OZ code THM 200-4R transmission.'

 

In 84-87, if there is a Y code in the VIN, then it was never a 442 or H/O.
I do not know much before 84...
T-tops were available on the 442 and Cutlass, but I do not have the numbers here.
Oldsgmail.com is a great info source for these 80's Olds - you may find the prod. figures there also.

 

I think an 80s G body with T tops would be an awsome! There is one in Lawton that is red and silver. It was for sale but someone bought it and put 20 inch rims on it. Now it looks goofy!

 

o i know how that feels seen a nice Monte Carlo ss t-tops an all, an i wanted to get it but was to late.some dork got it an turned it to a donk };

 

so i have to say i think your car is a 442 clone......the {y} vin says it all to me.
