73 Olds Cutlass

Hi. I am new on the forum and Have a 73 Cutlass Coupe 2dr. The car have 455 u engine and have all options for a 442. Is there some way to find out about this car is a real 442?

There is really no other way of knowing without the build sheet, as "442" was an option on the "S" coupe body.
It could very well be a 442, but the front nose and bumper are from a Supreme not a 442.
Love those turbine wheels.

The car have change the front wen it was in a crash , and i think the 442 parts is hard to find. Do you now where I can find the build sheet ?

A few places it could be, under the back seat attached to the frame of the seat or on the top of the gas tank

Nice looking car! As Joe said it shouldn't have the front nose of a Supreme or have the T Tops.
I have a friend in Bergen Norway that restored a 1973 Cutlass Hurst Olds. He may have what you need! His name is Eirik Larson, let me know if you need his email address or maybe you know him?.

Hey. Thanks for the nice feedback for my car. I think the roof retrofitted. I live about 75 miles from Bergen, and has seen the car to Erik Larson at gatherings. It would have been nice to got mail address for Erik, so that I could contact him and heard he has some parts.

Hey. I have seen under the rear seats, there was nothing. I'll check on top of the fuel tank when I shall take it down.

The shelf at the back seat that goes from the top of the seats to the rear window, usually the radio speakers are located there along with the rear window defroster, if equipped with one.

Eriks email is ponti753@hotmail.com

If it is a Lansing built car it might not be in the car. I have not heard of many in 73 that had them. Could also be between the gas tank and body, in doors under carpet usually passenger side, behind glove box, package tray or even in seats. They just tossed them and most are never found. Good luck!
