1970 442 cowl tag decoding
Hi all, I have a friend that needs help decoding a cowl tag. I was able to get some of the info but some of the codes don't jive with trim and paint info. So I'm turning to you guys !
so far I have deducted that it is a 1970 Olds 442 assembled in Lansing production 895
Cowl tag reads as this:
70 34467 E-895
TR 977 WA 4007 A
05A A31
Any help and insight would be great ! He believes it is a Rallye Red with Pearl bucket seat interior with white convertible top.

Sorry, the "E" means that the car was built in Linden, NJ, not Lansing.
WA 4007 is the GM paint code for Rally Red. Linden used the WA-codes instead of the "- -" on the cowl tag.
The "A" is a white convertible top.
TR 977 is Ivory bucket seats
05A is first week of May, 1970 build date
A31 is power windows
