just recently got this 69 cutlass…



ST 69 33687 LAN170639 BDY
TR 334 40 40 PNT
10E
VIN: 336879M168304

 

Is that the best image you can provide - VERY difficult to read. At a minimum provide the numbers EXACTLY as they are listed. Members shouldn't have to guess what this cowl tag states - your help is needed.

 

^^^ better

 

ST 69 = style/model year = 1969
33687: 3=GM division=Oldsmobile; 36=model series=Cutlass V-8; 87=body type=holiday coupe
LAN = assembly plant = Lansing MI
170639 BDY= Fisher Body number (has no relationship to the car's VIN)
TR 334 = interior color and front seat type = gold with bench seat
40 40 PNT = lower and upper body colors = saffron for both
10E = time build code = October (10), fifth week of that month (E), 1968

Hope that helps.

very helpful… someone told me it might be a w30 so I was trying to confirm or not.

 

That tag could be a W30--well, it doesn't exclude it.

 

I googled the year and the color code 40 40 and that Saffron pulls up a 442..

 

your vin shows the car to be a cutlass , not a 442, so it cant be a W30

 

Sorry, but the VIN does basically say it's not a W-30. It's a 1969 Cutlass.

The W-30 option was only available on 442's which had their own model # in 1969 and would be shown on the VIN as:

• 34467 442 2 dr. Convertible
• 34477 442 2 dr. Sports Coupe
• 34487 442 2 dr. Holiday Coupe

It is within the realm of possibility that it could be a W-31 as this was available on the Cutlass model line.
Here's the 442 and Cutlass engine options for 1969

 

ok ok cool thanks for that.

 

The cowl tag in 1969 may read 33667 or may read 34467 for a 442. This horse has been beat and would really like to be buried.

 

Your right, I updated my post to say the VIN.

 

Post a readable image of your VIN plate.

 

Yes, definitive.
