For a little more detail...
ST 70 = style/model year = 1970
33678: something is a bit wrong here...should it be 33687? That would decode to...
3 = GM division = Oldsmobile
36 = model series = Cutlass V8
87 = body type = holiday coupe (77 would be sports coupe)
BF = assembly plant = Fremont CA
10873 BDY = Fisher body number (has no relationship to your VIN)
TR 940 = interior color and front seat type = black interior with a bench seat
55 55 PNT = lower and upper body colors = galleon gold for both
06A = time build code = June (06), first week of that month (A), 1970
As I recall, the other numbers are specific to the assembly plant at Fremont and no one seems to have a break for those code numbers.
Your VIN should look like 336870Z------ if you do indeed have a holiday coupe. the dashes simply indicate the 6-digit plant sequential number.

70 = model year 1970
3 = Oldsmobile
42 = Cutlass Supreme V-8
67 = convertible
LAN = Lansing assembly plant (sequence number 273574)
TR 990 = black vinyl bench seat
PNT 14 = platinum lower body color
PNT B = black convertible top
10E = built 5th week of October 1969
About the only things you couldn't tell by just looking at the car are the build date and the assembly plant.

Many factory-available options installed too.

Thank you.
Numerous OEM factory options added, like tilt & sport wheel, 4-way power sport bench seat, dual exhaust with trumpets & cut-out bumper, W-27 differential cover (this was a dealer-only available option), Rally Pac, rear sport suspension sway bar (dealer option), Super Stock II wheels, sport mirrors, convenience group lamps (trunk, underhood, glove compartment, inside rear-view mirror with map lamp), power trunk lid latch, and a custom mod - OEM W-31 aluminum intake manifold. (Cam is mildly performance tuned.) (To do: change axle gear ratio and add anti-spin).
