Normally an original Taco has the correct frame number stamped on it. If it is a reproduction one of the easiest ways to spot it is if the rear frame tubes that mount to the upper frame and the front tubes that mount to the neck are just round tubes welded together. The original tubes are flat tubes welded to the frame (not round). A good website for more info is steenstacominibikes.com. They have an abundance of information!

Memory incorrect. Both my 67 and 68 Taco 22s have springs, low mount down on knuckle at front axle and the 67 is an unrestored survivor. The Frijole had no springs on fork.
I live in the city so I can't have one, but my friend does and some other kids have those coleman ones and they always complain about getting pulled over. Jokes on them, I have a real motorcycle
I prefer a BRIGGS motor because when I raced go-karts, (Stock to Open class) I blue-printed all my motors and know it well! My "limited modified" motor spun to almost 10 grand!!

Nothing like that centrifugal clutch "chatter" on a mini bike engine. A sound I remember from the 70s!
Yeah that sound does bring back memories!
Tec is the way to ride a taco

A Taco 22? It has 44 handle bars. 22 bikes had no springs. Is my memory correct?
Incorrect, the Taco 22 did come with front suspension, similar to a 44.

Would a 212 predator fit in that?
Yes
