In 1972, 442 was a trim code. It could be made at any plant. No way to tell from the VIN whether it is real.

If the "suitcase" on the passenger side firewall darned near rubs the valve cover, then it had A/C and has been removed. The control panel is another good clue...they are a b!tch to change.
