HQ Monaro Coupe tags on ebay April 2006
PM me the details if you can read them
Looks like 80837 which is GTS
Engine looks like L31 (308) M40 trans (T400?)

We should start printing out the tag details, that way if anyone decides to google they will see the car is a fraud.

Body No: 795569 S
 

VIN: 8Q37LDH7955690 or could be 8Q37LDH795569Q, will depend if GMH ends the VIN with a letter or number; HQ's have VIN ending in Q perhaps?

 Looking into it, the VIN would be 8Q37TDH795569Q

 

The tag says it has an L31 which would be a T engine. QT 308 HC (high compression) 5.0 litre V8

Is this Ebay again? Who are these pricks?

It's one from earlier in this thread, I thought I'd type it in rather than having only the picture; just in case someone does a VIN web search on a vehicle they're about to buy.

So what exactly is happening here?

 

On some forums Petey (a.k.a. [email protected]) is asking for info on his mate's tags but on this forum he's asking if his car (with same tags) is original?

Problem is with a HQ the identity of the vehicle is with the CHASSIS and the tags. For a 308 auto HQ GTS coupe, there is no difference between a 308 GTS coupe body and a 6cyl Monaro body. So whilst I get the whole buying of tags without a body is a dodgy and bad thing, if I had a rusty Dandenong HQ GTS 308 coupe and had a rust free Dandenong Monaro body I wouldn't hesitate to do the body swap. Chassis unbolts and you'd have to remove the tags off the GTS and refit anyway to relace the rusty cowl. In the end you have done a rust repair and changed nothing to disguise the identity of the donor body. All you have to do is cut a console shift hole if the donor was a column shift, and if a GTS's floor was very rusty you'd do the whole floor anyway so would be doing the same. If I sold this i'd tell the buyer what was done, but putting the buyer's hat on I wouldn't care as i'd rather a rust free body than a repaired one. What i'm getting at is a HQ may not be dodgy just because its numbers appear in this thread, but it is a good check for buyers too so they can at least ask the question.

 

BUT having said all that HK-HG and Torana are different as the identity of the car exists on a welded in part of the car, and this is what Police see as rebodying afaik. Whereas a HQ's identity exists with the chassis which is removable - if you stick a set of HJ rails under a HQ the car becomes a HJ as far as the registration identity is concerned.

Why cover up the vin but show the body number? Unless they don't match...

[StephenSLR]

Why cover up the vin but show the body number?

 

Seller has yet to realise, the body no. is part of the VIN but he's hiding it because he wants to sell these in order for them to be used in a rebirth. They're not worth as much if the VIN is known to be from a write off.

 

For future reference, be wary of

I wouldn't get too worried about it, it is just a 4.2 auto sedan. A 5.0L HZ Premier would be far more interesting!

Someone is bidding over $1,500 for them; you can expect a fraud SL/R on our streets.

This sucks. It frustrates me that these pricks do this every day.
