This is what I found:
Column 5
V=Body & front fenders pierced for 442 option L69/L78
Y= Deluxe front & rear seat belts A-39
According to that it is a 442. Other than the drivers fender nothing else is 'pierced' for a 442. No body emblem holes. Could they have been filled in? Sure.
The trunk lid is from a Cutlass as is the hood. Tail lights are a Cutlass. Grill is a 442. 2 speed Jetaway trans. This is a Frankenstein 442 I guess

If it is a true 442, among the other discussions, the car should have a boxed control arm/rear sway bar, and it should have two lines running to the fuel pump from the tank....one 3/8 supply line and one 1/4? return line
