Please let me know if this tag indicates a true 1967 442. The car has all the required trim features. Thanks!

 

The traditional check is an accessory code that only worked on Lansing and Framingham cars. This is a Fremont car (see the BF###### number) and it has a number of plant specific codes (the last two rows) which we haven't figured out yet. This means this tag can't be used to authenticate a 442. Cloners know this, and it is why all sketchy might-be-a-clone 67s these days are Fremont cars because they can dodge it like this.

 

the last row:
on the left * H75728 is the "order number"
on the right * 05 is date related & 0396 is a sequence #

 

I used this car as an example in a prior FREMONT thread 6 years ago, that got ZERO feedback

with enough data, many of these UNKNOWNS may be solved - anyone else save tag and VIN info - or am I a UNICORN ????????????

1967 Oldsmobiles built at FREMONT, CA (BF, Z, etc.) - ClassicOldsmobile.com

 

here are a couple former auction/ad? pics of the car - is the original? spare still in the trunk?

 

Nothing on a Fremont cowl tag will tell you if it's a real 442, which is why today every Fremont car is a Faux-Four-Two.

 

Hey, I like that data. If we can get it sussed, I can slap it into my cowl info thread.

 

If you post detailed pictures of the car, we can help you get a better idea. We know some dirty tricks.

 

lol Koda,... dirty tricks! 2nd more pics!

 

Be careful with that axe Eugene... some cloners can read!

 

That's a good Pink Floyd song. Good point. There is one trick that I shan't mention online for sure.
