I have a 1965 cutlass f85 with all 442 badges except for the grill the trailing arms are completely boxed with sway bars car is built in Canada (gm canada D.D) Are the canadian frames differ from the US The rear frame is spliced together factory around wheel well so does that make it a non 442? Another question I read that some 1965 cutlass 442 came with a ram air option where the rad support was cut out by GM with a cutting torch which was possibly done by gm to my cutlass if anybody has information on this topic would be very appreciative rocket65 Thank you

 

No 442s built in Canada in 1964 thru 1967. 442s built there in 1968 and 1969. Olds A body production ended with 1969 model year at Oshawa.

 

wow, interested to see more of your car. a vin search from gm canada would answer alot of your questions i think. ive heard of 66 with ram air being hacked out of the rad support
