Only one bracket James.

Hi Dave,

Yeah, not so concerned about the options as rare....just trying to establish if this was another ( seem to recall a previous thread) where the options dictated a non standard boot layout. If so, it just makes fake GTRs a little more difficult to detect? ( only if all the proof of factory options is available )

Gotcha Col, yeah optioning the 5.5" rims means only one spare wheel bracket fitted in production.

Hi
just looking to find the most I can about my LJ. From my research I've found that the paint is tangerine I think. And I think it's an adelaide built car since it's got the 2 numbers that end in "A".

Model: LJ82311
Body No: 90681 - A
Trim: 1816 - 58 E
Paint: 568 - 12692 (the 8 was scratched on so no idea if that was correct couldn't tell from the back either)
Eng: LD1

8B11DDL254794J

BLJ30949A (this one was barely legible, the first letter could have been an 8 or a B )

Thanks!

Hi Sam

 

That VIN appears on the disc as an "S" model 2 door, completed on 4 Oct 1973 and sold by dealer 377 during Nov 1973. The original engine number was CD416632. It left the factory with, a 2750cc (173cid) engine. 3 speed manual transmission, drum brakes all round and a 3.08:1 ratio conventional differential. The body colour is Tangerine with Doeskin trim.

 

The Chassis Number BLJ30949A appears to be right, but you can cross-check it on the ADR plate on the firewall near the wiper motor.

 

Cheers

Thanks bazza

It only came with those 2 plates and the number on the left hand side guard.

Will I run into any problems when I eventually need to Rego it or will I just need to comply with the latest LJ model for stuff like emissions?

[Bazza]

Hi

 

If the NSW procedures are the same as here in Vic - the stamped Chassis Number is what they will use. They will need to be able to read it clearly though.

Hmm ok

I think once it gets painted it'll be less visible. may cause problems.

Thanks Bazza

A met a guy with what looks like a 6 cylinder 2dr 69 lc. He thought it was 70 but body number is pretty early. It has no tags but the body number is lc03447B. He was wondering if we can determine anymore info from just the body number?? He believes it is a gtr and it has a couple of tells but someone has tried to make an lj out of it so he is keen to know anything of its past.

Hi
Not sure if this is the correct bht couldn't find one for LX

Is there any way of getting the details on what a LX was just from the chassis number?
LX038544M

Thanks

[N/A-PWR]

 Bazza will help Paul,

 

 from what mine say,

 

the Chassis number pin-points an area of Time,

 

 say between Sep - Nov made.

 

 

The cannot tell you what it was,

 

 so simply - the number is a reference from the first LX.

 

 

could be wrong but, fingers crossed.

82311JL209612 is an Adelaide build LJ Torana S 2dr sedan completed on 27/07/1972.

It was fitted with a 138ci (2250cc) high compression engine, 3spd column shift manual transmission, 3.08:1 conventional differential and drum brakes all round.

The original engine number was B190037.

The car was sold in 10/72 by Dealer 431 in Victoria.

Hello , i meet a guy a couple of weeks ago who has a L J 2 door hes looking at restoring. He has been told its a XU-1 , i haven't seen it yet but he did say the fuel tank breather pipe runs along the passenger side of the boot to the back of the car so maybe . The trouble is it has no ID plates , hes  just phoned through the chassis number its ALJ16718A other than been built in Adelaide is there anything else this number can tell? any help appreciated.  from  Leigh      

[Bazza]

Hi Leigh

 

Nothing further can be gained from the Chassis Number except that the car was completed in late November 1972.

PM me with your email address and I can provide a few pointers on identifying the model of the car in question.

There were a substantial number of XU-1s completed in Adelaide during that period, but not many GTRs.

 

Cheers

Plain old 6 cyl 4 dr sedan SL trim level

[Bazza]

Hi Nick

 

You have a 4 Door SL that was completed in Adelaide on 15/9/71 and sold by Mornington Motors P/L, Main St Mornington Vic the same month. It left the factory with a 173 engine, auto trans, front wheel disc brakes and a 2.78:1 ratio conventional differential. Etruscan Gold is a late 1971 colour. I can't see a 48R trim listed (maybe 48P?) but all 48 trims are Sandalwood in colour.

 

Do you have the Chassis Number? - it should commence with ALC.

 

Cheers
