Re: 72 H/O pace car where are the motor # located?
It would be on the drivers side and should match the last 6 of the vin,plus the letter code if original. Vin in '72 provides the engine size.

Re: 72 H/O pace car where are the motor # located?
Rusty:
Wonder why 442.com says that? They matched when they left the factory as Stefano says here. I think the engine stamp would be 2MXXXXXX. Maybe they assume very few have the original engine in them still. That I really believe. Then I guess it makes sense.

Re: 72 H/O pace car where are the motor # located?
An X code car would no doubt be a true Pace Car as no Cutlass Supreme hardtops other than a Pace Car can have an X code engine. A U 455 could be purchased in any Cutlass hardtop. As I understand, there was no way to tell a true Pace Car from the trim tag or ID number unless an X code.
I'm looking at a 1972 X code Pace Car for sale locally. If it has the original spare it is a rare, rare Goodyear Polysteel 60 series made only for this car. Make sure it is not a standard Cutlass Supreme in white with a 455 dressed up like a Pace Car. They can also have an open rear end, no posi.
