OK, but at the risk of bringing this up again, the build sheet has "L78" but "*W29".

Just sayin'...

Simple, they just truncated it to 399. No need consider how to round it off.

Joe, I know you're always looking for a way to squeeze out more cubes!

Hey, I'll take that extra 0.4 CID any way I can.

Right, and I addressed that earlier in this thread. For reasons unknown to me, the 442 option was a bit convoluted in the broadcast structure. In a sense they were implying that ordering the 442 engine got you the rest of the package.

Another interesting point is if you had a bench seat with parchment interior it was off white and if you had bucket seats in parchment it was the gold tint parchment.

My Fremont built 442 Convertible had the build sheet in the front seats and one in the bottom of the back seat.

I have owned my 67 442 conv. for 28 years. I found my build sheet L side panel [arm rest] with a 1967 USA penny taped to the build sheet. I also have the olds protect-o plate dated delivery date March 23 -67 sold to the original owner from Money oldsmobile company in Phoenix Ariz. This car is all most original [I installed power disk brakes]It has never been painted, original top, carpet, ect. It has just over 64,000 miles. It has a rally pack & a/c installed by the dealership because of the heat in Ariz. My open heart surgery went well. I,m still recovering , it,s only been 3 weeks. Thanks to the folks that wished me well before the operation. I just love this forum. It has a wealth of information. Friskyjake.
