you got yourself a 1970 Cutlass hardtop. The VIN should be 3387 as a 3367 would be a convertible. Open the hood and post a pic of the cowl tag. that will tell us the color of the exterior and interior. Glad to see someone is saving a car. What was left of the comino?

Oh and car was made in Freemnot

Cool find, it looks like it's an entire, intact car.

I see manual brakes (looks like a front disc master cylinder) and drivers side alternator which was factory on AC cars, so I'm guessing the AC was removed.
Can't make out the head casting letter, should be E for 1970.
Interesting manual heater control valve attached to the intake/heater hose fitting. Prolly dates back to the 80s.
Are those Supreme grilles? Been many years since I had a 70 so I'm not sure.

The A/C box is still on the firewall.

The random blue engine paint suggests this motor was not born in this car. Torker intake.

On your 336770Z112878 VIN:

3 = GM division = Oldsmobile
36 = model series = Cutlass V-8
77 = body type = sports coupe (2-door post)
0 = model year = 1970
Z = assembly plant = Fremont CA
112878 = assembly plant sequence number

As mentioned by stevengerard, post a pic of the cowl tag. It will say a little more about your car.

With that quantity of dirt on the manifold you could start a small crop of radishes. They grow quickly.
