From what I can see in your latest pics the car is a 1972 Adelaide build LJ, so none of those 3 Brisbane ID tags belong to that car. It also appears that it has had at the very least both front guards replaced with 1973 front guards and a NOS spare part left hand wheelhouse panel (hence no chassis number).
What you have described sounds consistent with the moulding studs under the rear qtr window openings being original electrofusion studs. This would indicate the car is a GTR but without the original ID tags it may be best to just consider it to be a Torana S body shell.
Under the circumstances it may be useful to fit the May 72 compliance plate for rego.

Hi
The 82911 tag is a Mustard GTR from around the 3rd week of March '73.

I think you should try and work out what parts are not there for completion , and how hard they will be to get , It seems like he might not be going to supply all you need ,and with odd tags , until you know what what you are getting it is hard to put a price on it . I would not seem to keen , and offer $5K and tell him why , you don't have anything to lose , not saying it could not be a good car , but if you have to sell it later the tags will feature in the price , not the fact you have spent another ten grand on it .

He's asking 8k
I don't want to be dodgy I'd just like to get it registered. At the end of the day it's still a 2 door but its nice to know it could've been a gtr
When you say fit the 72 tag is that the one that says 2 door sedan?
Oh and thanks for the replys guys you've been a great help!
Yes, the Compliance plate with the build date, 2 dr sedan, the chassis number and the ADR numbers.
Also agree with TBM, 8K seems a bit much for one with no true identity.
edit: If you are serious about purchasing this car and tags then I would advise running a check on the chassis number on the compliance plate to make sure it's not listed as stolen.
Cheers
Dave.

Just looking at the boot pics again. I notice there is only one spare wheel mtg bracket on the boot floor next to the wheel well. S & SL Torana have two brackets on the boot floor, GTR and XU1 only have one bracket. In my mind the possibility of that Torana being a GTR has just increased.

well spotted dave the guard is adalaide i cant see the other guard, theres every chance that its a gtr but im in doubt if the gtr tag is off this car, 2 things i see are 1 its a brissi tag mustard, the other is the color on thr rear parcell shelf looks like purr pull????? it might have been painted purr pull,
but from whats been shown this torana is worth the money the owner is asking,
but if i were u i would try to get the car at the 6k to 7k mark, u wouldent have to do much to get this back to gether,
my 2 bobs worth

I'll disagree John, this part of the chassis rail is 1972 but the whole front end of this car is 1973. You can just see two of the spot welds on the outrigger bolt hole washer.

when i put the rail kit in my chev v8 73 2door torana 10 years ago i needed to cut and grind them supports down so it would fit, i know what your saying about the spot welds on the pre 73 washers, but it looks more like the body deadner they have used to make the under car look good... the only way this car is not 100% 73 is if the car has had a shut and cut, witch is quite possible judging by the weld across the gearbox tunnel as well as the floor pans.
can the bloke buying this car get me a pic of the trans tunnel from under the car above the gearbox ???so we can see if its double skin or single.
other than that i stick to my first call of 100%adelaide 73 gtr.

That area of the chassis rail where a 73 would have the brace still has original GMH body deadener on it. There's no sign of grinding marks or left over bits of metal that I can see. Touch ups to the deadener have been done where the new floor pan sections were welded to the rail.

can you post pics of the seat belt pivots on back quaters under quater windows please, because if its had a shut and cut they would not have changed the rear pivots.
