Re: 66 442 Drag Pack
 

Cool info and thanks for the clarification on the stamped shroud #'s.
When owners of the 54 built refer to car #23 etc, if they're referring to build sequence and not shroud #, how are these #'s known?
Also, if the shroud #'s were just to keep track of matching halfs, do #'s beyond 54 exist and how high a # has surfaced?

I'm not aware of records kept on the sequence of the cars. Most people are referring to the shroud # thinking that is the build sequence of the car.
I'm sure Mr Martin has more info than I have on the subject.
Yes shroud #s do go past 54 I think it's up in the 90s.

Re: 66 442 Drag Pack
 

Thanks for your replies. According to 442.com there were 93 Track-Pack packages installed in 66 and those air cleaner assembly's weren't numbered like the W-30's were. So how do you document that a 66 or 67 442 is actually a Track-Pack or Drag-Pack car? I assume both terms infer the same thing. Since this is a dealer installed package you would need dealer invoices to prove the upgrade was done back in 66 or 67 and not years later when the car was restored. Is there a registry for 66 W-30's or Track-Pack cars? Here are two other 66 442's I've seen that were supposedly Track-Pack cars.

Re: Track Pack Vs. Drag Pack
 

Gorgeous cars, wow.

This cool post clearly states what an L69 Track Pack car is, and Track Pack is what the Olds community calls the dealer installed ram air package.

&quot;Drag Pack&quot; is not normally used to describe it and sounds like just a name someone stuck on; it could mean anything.

Re: Track Pack Vs. Drag Pack
 

I have seen pictures of that car before it was restored and it was VERY ROUGH! I will try and find the website for the restoration place. I think they speacialized in Olds.

Real W30 out of Miami, according to owner.
