Let me give this a crack.
342570Z100891
3 = Oldsmobile
42 = Cutlass Supreme V8
57 = 2 door coupe
0 = 1970 model year
Z = Freemont, CA production plant
100891 = production sequence number. Looks like your car is #891 (starts at 100001) down the line.

ST 70(1970)-3(div-olds)42(series - cutlass supreme)57(body style - 2 door coupe) BF(plant code - Fremont, CA) 0049(unit number) BDY
TR 974B80(trim combination number) 58H(body color) PNT
08E(time built code - 5th week of aug, 1970) 007576 120406(not sure on these)

58 is Burnished Gold.
I think the H is for the vinyl top color, but I can't find anything to verify that.
