Welcome. It's actually very easy to verify the authenticity of a 1979 H/O. These were the only 1979 Cutlii (except for the wagons) that came with the Olds 350 motor from the factory. Check the fifth character of the VIN. If it is the letter "R", that's a real 1979 H/O (assuming, of course, that the rest of the VIN is correct for the car). The VIN must start out 3K47R9M...
