Cowl tag decoder

Hey everyone I was looking for some help deciding my cowl tag. The car is a 70 442 post car. That's about as far as I've got. Thanks for your help. It reads

70-34477 BF 00083
930 B80 B90 28 28
12A 207289 74-202

also the vin reads 344770Z109847

Thanks

thank you very much for the info, I plan on searching for a broadcast card this weekend so maybe I'll get lucky and find something. It's just a standard run of the mill 70 442 but still pretty cool to me.
