I &quot;assume&quot; the radio must have been standard equipment on an Oldsmobile? The car has a radio:-) and a front antenna.

Did you ask the OO this question? Perhaps he did have it installed at a later time....and forgot to tell you? I`m sure you will be talking with him.

It just keeps getting better and better Ryan!
The 7 imported can't refer just to Vin prefix Model 36779 being there was obviously more '69 Canadian Cutlass V8 Club Coupe Post cars also not W31's alone either as the # of Canadian W31's is higher when including Hardtops so must refer to Canadian V8 Post cars equipped w/ W31?
That makes the next question, does this indicate 7 Canadian 36779 Cutlass Club Coupes w/ W31 alone or including W31 equipped Model 32779 F85 V8 Club Coupes too?

I discussed this with George at VVS, George said that we made these cars (Oldsmobile) in Oshawa as well as the US so the bulk of the cars sold in Canada were made in Canada. The number 7 is only an indicator of THE BODY STYLE imported he has no breakdown by option codes, so he doesn't know how many of the 7 were W31 cars. But the 7 were &quot;Model Number: 33677 Cutlass 'S' 2dr Club Coupe&quot; as the W31 cars were only assembled in Lansing MI it would stand to reason a high number of the 7 would have been W31 cars.....but that is an assumption..........

I also asked another question to try to find out how many of the 7 were W31 cars:
Ryan &quot;Is there a way to find out how many of the other 7 sold in Canada were high horsepower cars/W-Machines? George: &quot;not without a VIN number&quot;

I'd say the talk with the original owner will answer a lot of questions, especially the radio. My '69 W-31 is similar to Ryan's car in several ways and was ordered without the radio and corresponding equipment. There is a continuing debate over the term &quot;radio delete&quot; as these cars had NO radio as standard equipment. The first owner of my car (sold in Feb. '71 after it's racing days) wanted a radio, so an Am was installed along with an antenna. Yes, they drilled the hole in the fender WAY back in 1971.....funny thing about mine?!? the owner's name is written on the radio!
I can believe Ryan's car could have come without a radio, if it, too was intended to race.

Hi Ryan, did you see the 69 F-85 W31 olds in the October 2014 Muscle Car Review ? A post car also. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

To my knowledge the 7 would not include F85 Club Coupes.
