Just purchased a 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass...FEW questions!
Hey guys I am very new to Oldsmobiles and just purchased a 67' Custlass last evening. I was wondering if someone could clue me in on some of the basics:
Trim Tag:
01D S
67-33817 LAN15020
980-C H-2
ES 2ER
4F
Vin: 338177M249700
I used oldsmobility but really struggled trying to break the tag down. The car has 67,000 miles, original owners manual, keys, plates. It's painted Black Cherry with a Vinyl top. Interior is in GREAT shape.
It DOES have a 330CI 320horse motor with the Turbo Hydromatic 350 along with a 12-bolt rearend. I know this is correct for this year but how do I tell if it's numbers matching?
The casting number above the water pump is 3944173
ANY help would be great. Thank you!

The "12 bolt" Type O axle was available in the 1967 Cutlii. Be aware that despite having twelve bolts on the cover, this is not the 12 bolt Chevy axle. The Type O uses only ten bolts on the ring gear and that gear is only 8.5" in diameter.

If the trans is really a TH350, it's definitely not original. The TH350 didn't exist until 1969. The original trans would have been a two speed ST300 (AKA Jetaway), which despite popular opinion is NOT a Powerglide.

Here are some poor pictures (just rained)
So the interior is in EXCELLENT shape. One minor tear on driers side, aftermarket speakers and CD player, dash is near perfect. All interior lights work as well as exterior.
Body is OK with some signs of amateur body work. It looks like it was hit on the drivers side at some point (quarter panel). Trunk and floors are very solid. Runs and drives great.
What is this car worth in this condition?

truth in advertising
Maybe I missed something, but the Olds "illiterati" let you know that your car COULDN'T have the original trans,but you ran an ad saying you believe it is,though not confirmed...I bought my car on Evilbay from a "100% +ve Power Dealer who listed it as numbers matching.Being new to the Olds family, I had yet to learn how deceptive and/or meaningless that term is.I'm sure you'll be brutally honest with perspective buyers and keep the Olds brand above reproach!

Well i am sorry of anyone if offended anyone by posting and selling my car. I came across it at a reasonable price and had intentions of re-selling it.
I'm not going to "hit and run" here it was a site I felt confident in would help be learn more about the car. I am trying to diversify my knowledge in cars so I though joining this forum would be a great chance to start with the Oldsmobiles.
Again, i'm sorry if I have offended anyone; I have also adjusted the transmission matching in the listing.
Thanks for all the help

And you're still not honest with your ad even with the change you made. Apparently you don't like answer you got about the transmission and don't want to be honest about that either.
That is frowned on in this neck of the woods.

You could have received the answers you looked for and still been honest about your intentions. We are enthusiasts here, and welcomed you as such, not knowing you had no intention of keeping your car.

....OK, I'm over it now...by the way, if one of us wants to buy it, do we get a nice discount!

I want to see what it looks like under that trunk mat. It's tough to really tell from the pics but I did see a few minor imperfections here and there. Still a nice looking car.
Too bad this thread turned out to be an Ebay pitch.
