3 = GM division = Oldsmobile
J39 = model series and body type = Cutlass Supreme Hardtop Sedan
K = engine = 350cid 4bbl (L34) with single exhaus
2 = model year = 1972
Z = assembly plant = Fremont CA
114998 = assembly plant sequence number

The next time you need an Olds VIN decoded, go here.

You can also try this site for most any car, not just Oldsmobile.

Wow, your car hasn't traveled far and you surely got a great price for it!

we have put way more money in her than we will ever get out but we love it. Probably not that many survived out of 15,000. Especially with no B post. Is there a way to know how many made without the B post?
