I have the following cat with the following vin

and the following Fisher plate info


ST 72-33687 R 06452 BDY
TR 947 A51 75 75 PNT

Could some one help me figuring out the 676 after the 10B date code.




Thanks

Cool beans. A cat with a vin. Yeah, I know - typo. Car with VIN

3 = Oldsmobile division of GM
G = Series: Cutlass S
87 = Model: 2 door hardtop, aka 2 door holiday coupe
U = L75 455 4bbl engine
2 = 1972 Model Year
R = Arlington Assembly TX
118639 = Production sequence at Arlington. This is the 18,639 car down the assembly line. All Olds production of A bodies started at 100001 at all factories.

ST 72 = 1972 Model Year
3 = Oldsmobile
36 = Series: Cutlass S
87 = Body style: 2 door hardtop
R = Arlington Fisher Body Works (where body and interior were assembled prior to shipping to Arlington Assembly)
BDY 06452 = Body number assigned to car shell by FBW Arlington. Not related to VIN
TR 947 = White Moroceen theme interior
A51 = Strato Bucket seats
PNT 75 75 = Matador Red lower/upper paint
10B = Week body shell was produced at FBW. This is not the date the car was finished. 2nd week of October 1971
676 = ??? Are you sure? Could it be "B85" by chance? If not it's likely something unique from Arlington related to the actual build sheet for the car. Can you post a picture of the Cowl tag?

BTW, since this is an Arlington car, there's a chance you could find the build sheet for it on top of the fuel tank, unless that's been replaced.

You may get better response if you post your own thread. This one is over five years old.

When you do that, be sure to post your VIN as well. The engine code will be in the 5th place. You're looking for a T, U, or V.
