Greenhorn with a fresh find
Hello olds country, I have joined this forum because I have recently been apointed sales manager of the dirt car lot. (My father in law has owned a plumbing company for 25 years and he has been parking ragged out work trucks in his pasture for years.) The most interesting ride in the pasture is a 73 442. I posted a add on a free sale site and my phone rang til it smoked. I then took the add off and decided to find out what the big deal is. Where do I start on trying to find out what I have. Can someone direct me to somewhere where I can decode the vin and tag. Thanks in advanced. Has anyone ever saw a stack of trailer wheels and tires the size of a 3 bdr house. All at the dirt car lot.

Post it here and we can tell you what you have. You can leave off the last 6 digits if you wish; they're only the sequential VIN and don't tell anything about the engine or bodystyle, though a very low sequence can also ***** up peoples' ears.
Also post what's on the body data plate underhood. That one can REALLY tell us a lot about a 73 442. Suffice to say if there's a U or V in the VIN and an M20 on the data plate, it can excite an Olds guy. A U with factory air is icing on the cake, provided everything that matches the codes is still there.
But I expect you were also getting a lot of calls from demo-derby and donk types. The 70s cars are very attractive to them for some reason.
Do you have axles to go with all them trailer wheels? Could be a lucrative side business if you have some time to build trailer frames...
