Interesting. I have buckets but they’re green along with the rear seat. Buckskin paint too. I knew it had been repainted but I didn’t know it wasn’t repainted the original color. Thanks!

Here's a little more detail in what everything says.

06B = time build code = June (06), second week of that month (B), 1968

023317 60805: These are codes unique to the Fremont, CA, assembly plant. I don't believe anyone has figured out to date what they mean.

ST 68 = style/model year = 1968

33677: 3 = GM division = Oldsmobile; 36 = model series = Cutlass V8; 77 = body type = sports coupe (2-door post)

BF = assembly plant = Fremont CA

01212 BODY = Fisher body number (has no relationship to the VIN; it's a number assigned by Fisher before the body hits the assembly line)

TR 944 = interior color and front seat type = willow gold with bucket seats

B80 = option code = chrome roof drip moldings

B90 = option code = chrome window frame

S 8 PAINT = lower body color (S) and vinyl top color (8) = jade gold (S) with a gold vinyl top (8)
