I have just bought a 1971 442 Convertible and I want to take it back to original color, etc.
The Vin number is
34467xxxxxxxx And I know its a Series:442 ,Body:2dr Convertible, Plant:Lansing, Michigan , Serial Number:
But my question is: What color was the car and interior based on the Body Plate (attached photo).
ST 71 34467
(unless I miss read it) The ext and interior colors I keep coming up with are not for a 1971- if my info is correct. I also don't find the 979 code anywhere for 1971 442.
The car has power front disk brakes, ram air, AC, clock, sport remote mirros, hust shifter.
Please help if you can. Thanks

 

979= Sienna interior

67=Sienna paint

E= Sandalwood top

Sienna= Burgundy

 

That is very helpful!
Thanks

 

Here's a '71 SX ragtop in that color combination. Sienna is in the brown family, with a burgundy tint. A great vintage color.



The 02A shows that your car was built the second week of Februray 1971, by the way.

A = FIRST week of February. (Unless there's a letter that comes before "A" that I'm not aware of!)

 

Welcome to CO.

 

You're correct - not sure what my brain was thinking as I was typing.

 

Here's a complete rundown of your trim tag:

ST 71 = STyle/model year = 1971

34467 = GM division (3), model series (44) and body type (67) = Olds (3), 442 (44), convertible (67)

LAN = assembly plant = Lansing, MI

283739 BDY = assembly plant body number (for internal use at the plant)

TR 979 = trim/interior color and front seat type = sienna with strato bucket seats

67E PNT = lower body color (67) and upper body color (E) = sienna for lower body color (67) with a sandalwood convertible top (E)

02A = time build code = February (02), first week of that month (A) = first week of February 1971

Hope this helps.

Is there anything like a Ford Marti Report for a 442. I want to find out, if possible how my car was ordered?

 

No such thing for Olds. (Unless the car was made and/or sold new in Canada.)
