Regardless of what the GM Canada paperwork notes, do you know what rear is actually in the car...if the original?.

I think this is the most important comment in the thread.

On the Olds site, someone has Canadian docs from GM that shows the stripe color to be something that it is not - they call the stripe color Azure Blue. If you look at the available stripe from the dealer book and Azure Blue from the color chips (I believe it may be the same color as "Carolina Blue"), you'll see they're different. Clearly the documents were correct in intent, but they named it wrong, which could lead to a misunderstanding.

So is it possible this car came with a 3.08 rear? I dunno, but GM of Canada docs are not the horse's mouth.
