70 Olds 442 2 Door Post docs
 

A friend bought a 70 442 W30 Post Sedan recently. He found a broadcast card, but was going to try and find a buildsheet also. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
Any Olds gurus https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif have a good idea where to look for one? The car has only had some headliner work and appears that no interior pieces have been out previously to his buying it.

The car was built in Lansing, if that makes any difference. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

You mentioned that it was built in Lansing. This is good. All W-cars were built in Lansing. I would look under the back seat, pull the front seats and look there, and try looking in the passenger footwell under the carpet. Best places I know to look. I hope he has fun with his new toy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Wow, a '70 W30 Post...I'm jealous!!!

That was top of my 'most wanted' list for many years and my '70 W25 442 Post car was the closest I ever got...I'd sure be happy even with it now!.

On your build sheet, check behind the seat backs if buckets...if a bench, I'm jealous again...probably steelies and dog dishers too?.

Thanks guys. I'll have him check those places first.
Were any ever above the gas tank?

Pete,
It's a bucket seat car, so you don't have to be too jealous. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif I'm not sure on the wheel package.

Rusty,
He bought it to relive a car he had brand new and wishes he never sold, like a lot of us. He's done quite a bit of history tracing on it and actually found the original block with a previous owner in Texas. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Pretty cool.
Now he's looking for what he says are the "F" heads.

[/ QUOTE ]You found the buildsheet!!!!
Thats what a buildsheet looks like in a olds. Ive never found anything else other than what you have....NICE FIND!!

Re: 70 Olds 442 2 Door Post docs
 

So you're saying that there isn't any more paperwork in these cars?
We were hoping to find the sheet like Chevy's have to help determine the exact way the car was originally built.
Oh well, I guess it won't hurt to dig around in there anyway. Like you said, we do have the one sheet, and the body number on it is the same as on the cowl tag.

is it <font color="red">RED </font>

Re: 70 Olds 442 2 Door Post docs
 

It is a red car, with white bucket seat interior.

Re: 70 Olds 442 2 Door Post docs
 

Are the sequence number and body number blacked out only for the purposes of showing a photo of this card or are they blacked out on the sheet itself? If the latter who is to say this sheet is from this car? If you or your friend can read the body number and it matches the data tag then you have a match.
This is about the only paperwork you will find in a Lansing built Olds. You can keep looking but you will likely only find another one like this.
It is also known as a Fischer Body sheet as it only contains data that pertains to the work performed by Fischer Body prior to the body delivered to the Olds assembly line. Things like tinted windows,power windows,seat configuration and interior color,radio options and W-30 stripes are identified here.
If everything checks out,nice rare car! Only 262 2 dr. coupes had the W-30 option in 70.
