I'm going to take a stab at it.

ST 71 = style/model year = 1971

34267: 3 = GM division = Oldsmobile, 42 = model series = Cutlass Supreme, 67 = body type = convertible

LAN = assembly plant = Lansing MI

301139 BDY = Fisher body number (doesn't relate to the VIN at all)

TR Z989: Here's where it gets fuzzy. I have no idea what the Z means. I have a 989 code in my book which says the interior is a sienna color with a notch back bench seat in front

61 E PNT = lower body color and convertible top color = sandalwood (61) with a sandalwood (E) convertible top

02C = time build code = February (02), third week of that month (C), 1971

It will be interesting to see if anyone has further amplification or a different break of any of these numbers, and especially the Z989.

I just guessed on the "61". At first I thought it was 81 but I don't see a paint code for 81!

I'm curious about the "Z" before the 989 on the trim code. I've never seen anything like that before now.

We have a couple of discussions on Z meaning here on CO. I don't think we came to any consensus. By all means have a look at the link below. The second post of the link leads to another Z discussion.

The '70 W-30 talked about today by ReallyWildStuff also has a cowl tag with a W before the interior color/seat type code.
