ST 71 = style/model year = 1971


34487: 3 = GM division = Oldsmobile, 44 = model series = 442, 87 = body type = hardtop coupe


LAN = assembly plant = Lansing, MI


224782 BDY = Fisher body number (completely unrelated to the VIN)


TR 930 = interior color and front seat type = black interior with bucket seats


26 B PNT: 26 = lower body color =Viking Blue, B = vinyl top color = Black.


12B = time build code = December (12), second week of that month (B), 1970.


A/C, stripes, wing, and scoops would all be options that wouldn't be shown on the trim tag. The car would come stock with a 3-spd manual transmission. A 4-spd manual or THM 400 transmission would be options.


Given the "44" on the cowl tag, it is a real 4-4-2.

thank you so kindly. I was in a middle of a let down selling of parts on a junked title 70' S. a kind hearted man got ahold of me to offer this car! it needs help and im up for a challenge. I must track down a 69 cutlass no post very min rust for him, no engine no trans under $2500 somewhere in the west coast "California I hope" I don't want to be empty handed when I meet up with him.

Not all 442's came with the W25 hood or 4 speed SMT. All 442's did get a stripe package though. Only the W30's got the wide side stripe, the others got smaller side and deck lid ones. W30's also got the L77 engine, manual brakes, NO AC, dual exhaust, FE2 suspension and dual cutout bumper. The wing (deck lid spoiler) was an option (W35)

In fact MOST 442s did NOT come with the W-25 hood (which has DUAL scoops - duel scoops would mean they are shooting at each other). The fact that every 442 (and faux-four-two) today has the hood is irrelevant.

Wondered when someone would comment on 'duel'. Commonly misspelled word given the context. Always wondered if 'duel exhaust' meant one side fought the other to the death.
