HI guys. Im trying to find info on a car i have a chance to buy. The owner isnt sure what it really is &

has a couple of sets of tags which is a bit worrying. I have looked at vin disc but cant seem to decipher the betsbac for some reason & dont know if these tags belong to this car.  Engine is not original but the rest of the car looks good & it has xu1 fuel tank & booster so may possibly have xu1 options. Is there any specific things to look for that might help me determine what this actually is.

CHASSIS NO BLJ48287B which matches compliance plate no

Small tag no 8d11lch268168j

Body tag etc has

model lj82911

body no 19978b

trim 1816 59x

paint 568 12692

The other set of tags he has is missing the small tag which i assume is very hard to get any info without.

Any help & info would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi

 

Long story short - The VIN and Body ID Tag relate to a GTR completed 2/3/73 BUT the Chassis Number stamping and Compliance plate are from a July 1973 car.

 

Cheers

hi, was just wondering if anyone can help me id a torana that I may be able to purchase, it only seems to have 1 tag on drivers side firewall, says its a 10/73, 2 door sedan, blj31443a, it has all the usual gtr bits and pieces like dash, steering wheel, door trims. no eng or box, has the same blj31443a stamped on the rhs inner guard. all black interior,front guard flutes are not welded but factory looking from feeling inside. cant think of any other identifying features, the current owner says its definitely a GTR, was last regoed 5 yrs ago with those numbers but with a 253 and 4spd, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks :mellow:



colour is dark blue

Those numbers will only tell you the build date as you already know
there are few more tell tale signs on identifying if its a real gtr
but without those other tags its just an 2 door torana

What a load of crap. Missing tags does not make it an "s". It will still be a GTR with a couple of tags missing.

greg,look under the ADR plate on fire wall and that will give you the last four numbers of the vin and also check the boot for one or two brackets for the spare wheel.    ps it maybe L255564 have down a chassis number and vin very close. 

cheers

What Skap means is,

 

paint code 567-13884 = Chateau Mauve Metalic

Trim 1842-48X = Black 563-06912 ( ash tray lid ) Black 578-04149 ( instrument panel, upper steering column assembly ) Sandalwood 578-04170 ( seat adjuster guard, bucket seat side arms )

 

82911JL198841 - is your VIN, Bazza shoud be able to check the rest of the numbers for you

 

good luck with your resto

 

cheers

Can anyone please help.

I purchased what I thought was a XU1 5 years ago from a collector. I have contacted Holden for verification and they have no records prior to 71.

Details are as follows

Year 5/70

Model LC 82911

MODEL 1312-A

TRIM 1190-48X

PAINT 568-11429

VIN 82911CLI 50822

My thoughts to date are GTR.

I would appreciate if any body could help.

 

Thanks

Chrisp

Hi Chrisp

 

Someone has already provided the details on another thread. PM me if you can't find the thread.

 

In addition - do you have the Chassis Number? This provides another aspect as to originality.

 

Cheers
