My Olds 1987 442 and trying to dig up info

[69hurstolds]

Then you have to look at the cowl tag under the wiper, then. Unless you can find some paperwork hidden in the car. HINT: Lansing cars as well as Pontiac cars are usually cleaned out pretty well. Build sheets for these cars is scarce. Arlington and Canadian cars had better luck with finding paperwork in them.

I found my build sheet under the backseat on the drivers side.

Thanks guys for all that great info! It rolled off the lot with its wing, if its not factory sure looks like it, will pop a couple of pics later, this is her vin - 1G3GR1197HP311032, and yeah, duh, my 1995 K1500 came from up north. Will sneak up under the back seat and see what else may be there. Happy Sunday.

If it's not under the seat, theres also a few other places to check too man.

There may be broadcast sheets hidden behind seat covers and door panels and such. They only show partial information.

Here's a typical broadcast sheet from an Arlington built 85 442 which some refer to as a build sheet, because MOST of the time, this is what you find:

What's even better is the actual build sheet, if you can find it. Another 85 442 one from Arlington. Again, these could be ANYWHERE.

I can attest. I tore my car down to nothing, and only found a Broadcast Sheet in between the rear seat springs and cushion. (1987 442)

Wow, this is fun, pulled the bench off, saw this piece of paper tucked in the driver side back seat, pulled a little bit and saw the perf holes, need a T50 torx to get it. And on the wing, if the dealer did that its about as right as you can get.

Where did that spoiler even come from? It’s not a GM part for sure.

Same here. I've had the entire interior out of my 87 442 and all I found was the broadcast sheet under the rear seat.

Damn good question - when this bird rolled off the lot, there it was, black and a perfect match to the factory paint.

Just a guess but maybe a Lauren Engineering wing?
