Hi HORSE

That VIN relates to a standard GTR that was completed in Brisbane on 16/9/70. There is no engine number recorded or 'sell date".

The Body Number 10439-B and the Chassis Number LC15231B are both consistent with the build date. Note the suffix "B" on the Chassis Number - not "C" as you say.

You mention that the Chassis Number on the inner guard is 'etched' - there should be no doubt that the number is actually 'stamped'. Perhaps it is covered by layers of paint.

The car was originally Kashmir White with black vinyl trim.

Cheers

Bazza

Thanks Bazza,
Chassis number is not stampped and i did scrap all the paint of to make sure and does have a C not B which is why i am very suspect of the vehicle.

Hi Mac

This one has come up before. I can't be much help without the VIN but this we do know; it's got a Brisbane Body ID tag and an Adelaide Chassis Number - that speaks volumes about it :)

Cheers

Bazza

Hi aus996

Welcome to the forums.

Please check both those numbers. The "body number' LC18023B is actually the "Chassis Number" (approx Nov 1970) The Body Number is another number that you haven't given. Generally a VIN with a 6 after the H indicates a Sydney built car - but Sydney ceased production of GTRs around July 1970. This VIN is missing a digit - there is supposed to be 6 digits after the H.

Cheers

Bazza

Thanks Bazza my bad, the number after the h is 167503
I have a 4 door and 2 two door shells one i know is just a standard s, its the other one im not sure about. Kept all the tags locked away for ages and went to pull them out today and the lacky band had perished and they are all mixed up, but i think i have them all sorted now, just want to make absolutely sure right tags are with the right bodies. Im pretty sure the vin supplied goes with that chassis number ( only one other choice as the 4 door is an lj)
cheers steve

Hi, I have purchased a LC 2 door and he claims it to be a genuine GTR, for what we are doing to it, it doesnt really worry me if it is or not, but it would be nice to know if it is or not.

Would someone be able to tell me how to tell if its genunie gtr or not by the tag (what number on the tag shows if its a gtr or not?)

Cheers, Ryan


Hi Ryan

The VIN tag and the Body Identification tag tell part of the story, but this has to be confirmed by ensuring that the car has identifiers exclusive to the GTR. Post all the tag details that you have (or PM me if you don't want to make it public).

Hi Andrew

H229826 is a GTR completed in Brisbane on 19/4/72 and sold through dealer 048 during May '72. The original engine number was JL137873. The colour is Baroda Silver (Mk2) and the trim is Antique Brown vinyl.

Dealer 048 is believed to be the NSW government including Police.

If you would like a screenshot of the VIN disc entry, PM me with your email address.

Hi mate

Welcome to the GMH-Torana forums.

Sorry - without a VIN all that we can establish from the Chassis Number is that it is a Brisbane built LJ Torana completed around the middle of August 1972.

Cheers

Hi

The "A" at the start means that there was an ADR revision - the "B" at the end means Brisbane plant. Being and August '72 Chassis Number, it does fit the "72 Bathurst" timeframe - but the Chassis Number could be anything from a 4 cylinder 2 door to an XU-1. You may be able to try the CAMS historian, but I believe that they need a driver's name. Providing the Chassis Number alone to CAMs didn't help me find out anything about my XU-1.

Cheers

Bazza

Hi Bazza,

I posted this initially on the general thread & was told maybe you can answer. Hope you can help (more out of curiosity as to the reason)

Was looking at another car & found this reference. Looks like an XU1 due to the codes but no JP Block?

Hi Mate

Sorry - can't explain that one. It is hard to even explain it off as an input error. The number appears to be that of a standard 161 engine, the number range of which was being used in late November 1970. The car in question was built almost 3 years later.

If we knew the circumstances and timing of the data input it may be more clear as to how it could happen - but unfortunately we don't.

I guess the question will have to pass as just another of life's inponderables.

Cheers

Bazza
