What is it with all the secretbsquirrel bullshit wasting members time..... You find a car online, post a link, get an answer.....

Instead they cut and paste half the shit like noone else knows about it.... Ffs, post a link ifits for sale somewhere!! Almost as bad as the " my mate, or i know a car for sale...".

There was no secret squirrel bullshit. I received an email with the information that I posted, the only thing I didn't post was the hi and sincerely line.

What, I should post the hi and sincerely line as well???

hi glenn
no PSN is a drama, also had a look at JP motor of vin disc, can not find it
cars not worth 40k you would be better of looking at the lime green 1971 GTR
on ebay for for 35k....this car is the very first GTR built and more collectable than the bitsa thing on shannons

Hello all,I have owned a car for 20 years now that i bought cheap from a guy who blew the engine up and didnt have the know how or money to fix it.
Apparently its an LC GTR but its missing the two front tags so i dont know if it is or not.I didnt take the engine that was with the car at the time which he said was the original engine, it had a hole thru the side so i told him to throw it away.
Considering the scarcity andAttached File  lc 2.jpg   838.26K   6 downloads price of these cars now id like to try again to find out how likely it is that the car is a real GTR.
Ive taken some pics of the carb linkages,it has the triangle bracket with the vertical pin and the bracket with the round hole in it but it also has another more square flat bracket with two small holes in the end of it fitted below and to the right of where the heater hoses protrude from the heater box.Ill put the pics of the brackets up tomorrow.
The build date is 8/70 and body number is LC13791B so its a Brisbane car so should it or will it have the last 4 digits scribed or written on the back of the one tag it still has?
The tag looks like it has never been removed so i dont want to take it off if it is unlikely to have the numbers written on the back of it,ill put a pic of the tag and its rivets up as well. The flutes and body number do not appear to be welded in.
The car has all the badges,GTR door trims, back seat (i gave away the original front seats) dash etc. and looks to be phantom grey.
The car now has a 350 chev,glide and 9 inch in it and ive used it at the drags on and off over the years so its in no way an original car now but id really like to know if it ever was a genuine GTR.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Woodspeed

Checking the back of the ADR tag for the last part of the VIN only works with Adelaide built cars. The back of a Brisbane built car only reveals the Body Number with tells us nothing about the car. BTW LC13791B is the Chassis Number not the Body Number.

I think the best that you can hope for is that your car will have the features usually found on GTRs eg. triangular plate, single spare wheel bracket, full instrumentation etc.

Cheers

Hi Anthony

Sorry I thought you were talking about the other matter. L214080 was one of the possible break-points that you mentioned.

Hi Woody

Someone will chime in if I am wrong - but that looks right for an LC GTR. Be sure that the triangular bracket is spot welded in place.

Cheers

Hi mate,yes its all spot welded in place,i didnt touch any brackets putting the V8 in the car 20 years ago and and havent since so it must all be from the original engine that was with the car when i bought it.Thanks for the help.

Hi

That's the Chassis Number and all that can be established is that the car is an LJ (model unknown) and was completed in Brisbane around the second week of Nov '73.

The only records that specify the original colour are the Broadcast Sheet or the Body Identification tag - neither of which you have. In the thread a few years ago, didn't you say that the seller said it was originally white? If so, the car would have been Glacier White which was the only standard LJ white at the time.

Cheers

hey bazza my mate cant find his torana details on the vin disc thing because the trim plate is missing on his car is there a way of finding out interior colour etc

Unfortunately - there is no way to establish the trim without the Body Identiication plate

My inner guard stamp number is repeated on my compliance plate but the body identification plate has a number second from the top labelled as
"BODY No 4858-A" and from reading this thread it seems Young Len has the same thing.

I was shopping for a roadworthy and a mechanic who decided all three should match told me my car was cut and shut and to "take it somewhere else "

can someone help me understand what these numbers mean ? and do all Toranas have this ?

Hi thorley

People get confused between Chassis Numbers and Body Numbers. They are 2 different things and bear no relationship to each other. For registration purposes with older cars, the Chassis Number is used. As you mention, the Chassis Number appears on the ADR tag and is also stamped on the inner passenger side. These numbers must agree. The information that appears on the Body Identification tag (including the Body Number) is generally used for warranty and repair purposes and the numbers thereon don't not have to agree with anything for registration purposes.

I'll bet nobody on the forum has a car with the same number in 3 places (except by sheer coincidence).

Cheers

Bazza
