Hello is there any way to find out my uncles car history
Buick has Sloan docs
Is there anything like that for Oldsmobile
Would like to know at least we’re the car was sold to get a license plate frame for my uncle
Thanks

 

Only if you find a build sheet hidden in the car, or documents in the glove box.

 

Ok cool deal
MOst of car has been apart already

 

Do you have the POP warranty card? That will tell you who the selling dealership is.
The firewall tag will tell you which plant it is manufactured from but that won't help much with dealer location.

 

No this poor car has been through a battleezone

 

A good 'starting' point is to follow the suggestion in Post #4 (droldsmorland) - post a picture of the cowl (data/firewall) tag. Members can decipher the cowl tag data for you i.e. was in built in Lansing, Fremont, Canada, etc.? Cowl tag will provide useful information (as stated) regarding the 'build' of the car. You could help move this along by indicating what model & year of your Uncle's car then the cowl tag can validate.

 

As suggested, determining its point of origin could be very helpful. For instance, if it was originally built or sold in Canada a lot of information can be had from www.vintagevehicleservices.com .

EDIT: May seem like a longshot, but lots of Canadian cars have found their way down to California!

 

Here you go
69 Cutlass

 

So, Fremont car ... makes the Canada angle less likely.

 

I have found a build sheet on top of the gas tank on several Fremont built cars. If the gas tank has never been off it that would be a good place to check.

 

What years?
​​​​​​​Any chance for a 65?

 

Car has had the gas tank replaced
all seats and interior have been removed tooBefore and after pictures

 

Members w/ more knowledge/information than me will have to fill in the gaps - I am not worthy.

YEAR: 1969 (69)
Make: Oldsmobile (3)
Model: Cutlass Holiday Coupe S (3687)
Assembly Date: First Week of October (10A)
Assembly Plant: Fremont, CA (BF)
Lower Color: Nassau Blue (933)
Upper Color/Conv Top: Blue Vinyl or Convertible Top (53)
Interior Option: Blue Vinyl (C)

 

Fisher Body Sequence: 00943 (You most likely figured that out). Sorry, I can't help any more - other members will assist at some point.

 

You're one fan blade nick on that rubber fuel hose on the pressure side away from a car fire.

 

John - You mention a valid point; however, it appears the fuel line has been re-routed (or shortened) based upon the 1st image in Post #12 (note location of fuel filter). I believe the 1st image is the 'after' image; the 3rd image is the 'before' image.

 

Beautiful Oldsmobile!

 

Thanks most of the car isn't really squared away
I'll take a look at that and fix
Many small things to do all the way around this thing
Most items are finger tightDoes anyone have pics of correct core support bushings all that's on here is a bolt n washer loose so front end isn't lined up at all

 

Thanks man it's a work in progress
Slowly getting there
I told my uncle to buy a Buick GS hahaha
But he wanted an oldsMe and my pops have done a pair of BuicksAnother question is the door panels for the 442 on a 69 the same as Cutlass or holiday coupe I see on catalogs two different styles anyone post a picture
thanks

 

Read my Post #16 before you get too carried away.

 

Yeah ten four needs a bunch of looking over before it goes around the block

 

You've done a lot of good work so far. We all love to see our favorite cars being brought back so nicely.

Here's an observation: The water supply to the heater core requires a restrictor fitting to avoid high pressure that will blow out the core. Check to be sure the hose adapter from the half-inch galvanized street el has that restriction. If not, keep the engine revs low until you fix that.

If you don't know what the restrictor fitting looks like, see item HHF640 at the top of page 54 in the Fusick catalog, https://www.fusickautomotiveproducts...alog%2056C.pdf.

 

Awesome thank you
This fitting goes straight to the intake manifold right
I'll see if opgi has em there near me

 

Yes, this is the way the factory did it.

However, the fitting is half-inch. Your aftermarket intake manifold has a 3/4-inch opening, so a bushing is needed between the fitting and manifold.

If you put it in the manifold without an elbow, you will need to use the factory-style molded hose to avoid kinking.

The factory-style hose from Fusick is on page 53 in the catalog. You will have to call them to find out which to use because they list two hoses for your car, 400548 and 400888.

 

What wheels are on that GSX? They look close to the Buick rally's but just different enough to be noticeable. I'm a sucker for '70 GS cars but your uncle made a good decision on his '69!

 

Thanks man there custom billet wheels from a place in northern California can't think of the name of the top of my head but yeah there awesome looking the bamboo cream GS is for sale

 

 

What I found was 1968-72. I did find a build sheet in a 1964 that was under the springs of the passenger side seat.

Well, that didn't work! Here's a link to the thread showing the photo from the underside of the seat. 1964 Olds 442 data plate - ClassicOldsmobile.com

Here you go, John.

 

Thanks Norm!

 

More info on the Stage 1.
Stick?
Asking $$?

 

not a stage I added emblems complete matching number car two owner bunch of docs special ordered car power windows power seats disc posi tilt AM FM everything redone 68k

 

Radiator support? If so, Fusick has them. Order a couple of things from them and they will send you a catalog.

 

Yes got them ordered and on the wayDo you guys find that fusick is better than opgi as far as price and part availability

 

Generally better quality and fit. They don't sell chevy parts that others will, to tell you that it will fit your Olds. They make a lot of the parts that they sell, and have been around for decades.

 

Buick's look good. Is the GSX real?
