I just looked at the gold book and it looks like in 1972 the only 442's were a hurst and a w29 which are both worth alot of money. My guess is this car may be just a cutlass with a 455 engine?

Good luck!

Mike,

Nice guides, but the point was that you still can't verify a 442 (W-29) for 1972 without a build sheet. So with badging and som aftermarket items, I can call almost any '72 Cutlass a 442.

The only exception was a W30, which had an 'X' in the VIN. Hurst/Olds is not a 442.
