There is no sure way to tell if a '72 is a real 442 or not, unless it's a W-30, then you can tell by the engine code in the VIN. '72 442s could be had with 2bbl carbs (I think) and single exhaust. It was just a trim and handling package. Nothing in the VIN or on the data plate will tell you if it's a 442. Now, since it's a Fremont car, there might be a build sheet somewhere that will show the options. Then you'll know for sure.
