Hi Tom! (I'm a neighbor in Amherst) I'm particularly interested in your "Z989" trim code. Can you post or send me a pic? kurt.shubert@wildaboutcars.com

To get a good start on your decode you can go to the first section in the Chassis Service Manual, available free of charge (along with a lot of other good stuff like the Assembly Manual) at Wild About Cars.

Hello New Guy,

As you can tell, your Z989 trim code has sparked a lot of interest here. There is a thread running on this site called "Z Code cars in 1970" about the subject for us people who have absolutely nothing else to do with our time. About 3/4 of the way down us a series of questions about cars that have the code and how they are equipped - could you answer those questions to add to the data base I'm trying to compile in order to help us crack the code? Thanks and welcome to CO!!

 

Welcome! If you can't find it try posting a thread with " Fisher Cowl Tag Decoding Please" as the title. These are way beyond my knowledge, but some good guys on here have the info you need.

 

I would love too. I wanna get to the bottom of it also...

 

Basically Tom what you have is
st71 = 1971 Model year
34267 = Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible
lan = Lansing, Michigan Fisher Body Plant
404174 bdy = Fisher Body Unit #
tr z989 = Z well we know this is a mystery as of yet. 989 is Sienna in color interior with vinyl notch back bench seat
68 e pnt = Sable Brown exterior lower body paint with Sandalwood in color convertible top
05b = Begin assembly date of the second week (B) of May (05) 1971

 

Thank you so much. Thats a big help.

 

You are quite welcome Tom. Like Kurt said there is great info at the WAC website and worth the look, but I have the info here in front of me and the large pdf files are a hassle to load for me personally.

 

Got it, and posted it, thanks!
