Hey gtrtorana

What happened to the complete dealer list you mentioned on 10 July ?

We seem to have run out of puff at this stage and only another 400 dealer codes
to establish !! We need to rev it up again don't we.

Here is allegedly one - The zodiac blue XU1 on evilbay at present was apparently
sold in 1/73 by Tweed Motors, Tweed Heads - dealer code - 739 .

Cheers JR.

What happened to the complete dealer list you mentioned on 10 July

I was sent a PM from a forum member claiming that they knew someone that was on the verge of having a complete dealer list. They did not say who actually had the list but I was told that eventually, the list would be made public so all could see. Until then, the best list we have is the current list. Thanks for the new info fats

Hi gtrtorana

Please add:

554 N G Booth Pty Ltd (Moree) - Moree NSW (Thanks Chris GTR-1)

601 Norman Booth - Dee Why NSW

895 Zupps (Mt Gravatt) - Mount Gravatt Qld


Please check 871 Ross Llewellyn - Booval NSW - firstly Booval is in Qld and secondly this is a code in use by Ross Llewellyn today (we already have 871 listed with another name). There was no GMH Dealer in Booval Qld in the early '70s.

Thanks

Bazza

That sticker is great. Wish I had original on my back window. Sounds like an idea for a new topic, GMH dealer stickers. Will start new topic now.

My Lcgtr was dealer 433 by the vin number cd and in my books that match my gtr car was Bayside Holden in Frankston But someone has already said that was Dustings in Burwood is it possible the cars were swapped between dealers ? cheers Dazza

My car was allocated to 649 but I know for a fact that it never made it their as I have spoken to the owner of this dealership at the time and he had all his sales records and my car was not listed. He told me that sometimes are car never made it to the dealer it was allocated to as an order may have fallen though and another dealer wanted the car. Thats not to say dealer 433 is not Bayside Holden in Frankston, this is why it is hard to try and find the truthfull dealership numbers from the 70's.

gtrtorana Thanks for your response i too am lucky enough to have spoken to the original owner as early as last night to get the facts and he deffinetly bought it from Bayside Motors in Frankston just as my owners maintaince manual states. and the first 2 services were done by Preston motors in Essendon and the 3rd service back at Bayside Holden in Frankston maybe in one of the services the it details were recorded for the vin details ? Maybe ? cheers Dazza

Hi Guy's, i have a new one that isn't in the list.

Any ideas of the dealer code for this one?

Posted Image

Pic is copied from the original owner guide.

Also noticed the current list has a duplication,
301 & 457 are both Preston Motors Footscray?

Hi gtrtorana

I originally reported that 457 was Preston Motors (Footscray) I was mis-informed. Please delete duplication - 457 is correctly recorded as Masseys of Yarraville.

Dealer 842 - North City Holden, Osbourne Park, WA.

I have this written on a scrap of paper in my files, but don't know how I know so it may be incorrect!
Looking for dealer 543 for my car, suspect Qld/northern NSW.

Hi


In early 1972 the GMH dealer in Osbourne Park was City Motors, Scarborough P/L. Maybe North City Holden was a bit later?

Dealer 543 is currently Muswellbrook Holden Muswellbrook NSW. There was a dealer in Muswellbrook in early 1972 - perhaps the same dealer?
