I'm looking at a 1970 cutlass
Vin is 332770M I did some research online and read that all f85 are post cars. The one I'm looking has no post and 4 speed is it possible for it to be post less?

 

Vin swap?

 

i dont think thats right.....i believe f-85s in 70 could be had hardtop post and 4 door..i seem to remember seeing a few hardtop f85s

i am no expert
Joe P posted a dealer poster..i will find it...with all the cars avail

well may be true..looks like no f85 hardtops in 70.

If the 332 is correct, it should be a post car, and it is not a Cutlass. The 332 series was simply F-85. 335 and 336 indicated Cutlass while 342 indicated Cutlass Supreme.

 

It should look like this one, window wise.

I just saw the title and vin on car and trim tag all say 33277 I'm confused on why it's post less weird lol

 

According to the '70 Olds Chassis Service manual and the book Setting the Pace, the only body style offered for the F-85 was a 2-door post coupe called the "Sports Coupe."

Attached is the relevant page out of the 1970 Olds Full-Line Brochure. Note the car fourth from the bottom in the right-hand column. F-85 Sports Coupe, and it's the only F-85 shown.

 

33277 is an F-85 Sport Coupe, which DOES have a post. If the car does not have a post, the VIN and cowl tags have been swapped. RUN AWAY!

FYI, here is the 1970 dealer brochure that shows the only F-85 as a Sport Coupe, with post.

 

Beat me by a couple of minutes!

 

That stinks was hoping it wasn't tampered with, because it's yellow has a 350 with a 4 speed to boot.

 

Yep


and I love the people who belong to the Dept of Redundancy Dept and say they have a 70 F-85 post.

 

check the frame by the LH door just below the door hinge mounting. also the block ID pad and the blue tag at the lh door near the lock and of course the fisher cowl tag. if you really want to dig remove one of the frt door trim panels and the inner sheet metal support panel would be stamped 3277

 

It doesn't matter. Any 1970 car with a 33277 VIN cannot be a Holiday Coupe.

 

And Pat - QUIT TORTURING us with this pic!!! I haven't stopped drooling yet. That is COOOOOOLLLL!!!!

Thanks

 

Hey Patton long time no see! Yep kinda of neat to see an unmolested car out in the wild. We will see you in Tennessee, unless you can shoot up for Homecoming?
