Hi guys,
First of all any help would very welcomed!!
I've stumbled across a lc 2 door in my travels and the owner believes it is a real gtr. It only has the skin id tag and vin number on the inner guard. Any info on this info would be great !!
Skinny tag... Vin: 82911CL169377.
Number inside left guard, LC24337A.
No it's not to go on but would like to see if anyone can help me out!!
Cheers Derek.

Hi Derek

 

That VIN appears on the VIN disc as a GTR completed in Adelaide on 11/2/71 and sold by Freeman Motors P/L, 215 Grenfell St, Adelaide during March '71. The original engine number was 2600S30207.

 

The VIN and Chassis Number are a good fit datewise. It is odd that the ADR tag is missing but the other two are there. Usually the VIN and Body Tag are the first to go missing due to having been stolen or lost due to frontal collision damage. If the car has all the GTR identifiers the likelihood is that it is genuine.

 

What is the present body colour and trim details?

 

Cheers

Thanks Bazza!!  Its currently Salamanca red with black interior.  The front guards look like originals (the flutes aren't welded in) original door trims with ash trays etc. behind the back seat trims you can see where the pin holes for the gtr badges where before they got bogged over and removed before it was resprayed.  Would really like to know the factory colour but with out the other tag pulling it apart is the only option I guess??.  Ill post a photo or two on my profile as I cant attach them on here for some reason and see what you think.

[evl666]

Sorry Bazza, computer is not letting me post the pics for some reason

Hi

 

Finding the original is sometimes easy. It depends on the level of preparation that was taken for the respray. I found ample evidence of the original colour of mine under the kick panels and under the rear package tray trim (aka rear parcel shelf). There are other places but it involves rubbing back the paint in various places.

 

Cheers

[evl666]

Thanks. Just is there anything else I should look for that I've missed to help me id it as a gtr? Body wise?? due to the engine being long gone

[N/A-PWR]

Some Basic's - GTR Dash, GTR Steering Wheel, Bumps on Top of the back seat

GTR holes in boot lid

Does it have the triangular shaped GTR throttle bracket spot welded to the firewall (next to the std throttle bracket) in the engine bay?

[evl666]

Dash yes, bumps in back seat yes, the steering wheel is gone. Still got the gtr badge on the boot. The bracket I'll have to check, can't tell from the photos I have.

Beautiful Derek,

I love the Back Seats, and is that a Side Pipe. Dave I

[evl666]

Sure is. Some hot young bogan must have had a go at it during the nineties, got a red diff as well!! It hasn't be in the road since 2000 ish I've been told. Needs the resto but the bones are there

[RallyRed]

nice.
Looks similar to an old one I had back in the 70s.
Any chance of a front shot, fairly close up to the grille?

Hi Geoff

Adelaide LC GTR tags on a Brisbane LC body.

Also the body ID plate should be affixed on the passenger side of the radiator support panel and the compliance plate should be near the wiper motor, not the other way around as you have described.

These numbers, LC25294A & ALC39974B should match, but they don't. Note the suffix letters A = Adelaide, B = Brisbane.

Steer well clear me thinks.

Just looked up PSN L170460, it comes up as an Adelaide built XU1 completed on 4/03/1971.

So the compliance tag dated 8/71 isn't even from the same car the VIN tag came from.

[Bazza]

Hi

 

LC25294A would be 3/71 (misread?) 8/71 would be ALCxxxxx.

 

Cheers

Hi gemazare

 

This VIN appears on the VIN disc as a GTR completed in Adelaide on 3/2/70 and sold by E H Hage and Co, Tanunda SA. There is no engine number recorded but the original would have been in the 2600S8xxx to 2600S9xxx range.

 

The colour 568 11429 is Sebring Orange and the trim is black vinyl with black and orange houndstooth inserts.

 

The VIN, Chassis Number and Body Number all accord datewise.

 

Cheers

Thanks alot for that Bazza. Wasnt expecting a reply so quickly. Would the original motor just be a 161 s and aussie 4 speed. Would like to restore to as original as possible. Thanks again.

Hi

 

2600S (aka 161S) and an Opel 4 speed. It's a year and a half too early for the Aussie 4 speed

 

Cheers
