Hi Darren

Judging by the numbers you've posted you have a Brisbane body shell, compliance plate and body ID plate however the Vin Tag is from an Adelaide built car.

Good morning Dave I did expect that would be the case. As I has been damaged on the corner. So at this point I have a stray vin plate. can I find out what vin no. it should have had. Will this be a problem when I try to re register? It has been regoed in my name before. I would like to find out if the other two are a match as the ADR plate does match the body. Also I would like to know what details we can dig up from my previously mentioned JP block. Cheers for confirming what I suspected. PS I'm only a little disappointed. Thanks for the reply Cheers.

G/day Daz

I'm sure Bazza will be able to help you further but pinpointing your original Vin number will be near impossible.

Cheers

Hi all, I've just realised with my earlier post on my tags that I've gotten the locations mixed up, the little tag is on the drivers side rad support, not near the firewall! That's what happens when you cut and paste when tired!

Anyways a picture tells a thousand words, so's heres the tags..

Your Little tag number is for a LJ 82911 Car, that's Built on the 7/12/1973 it does not list a Engine Number, my guess it never went for its first service to get its Engine number recorded, but seeing pics of your car, we can see its a GTR, now the Body number on your Paint and Trim Tag, Bazza should know if it's correct for a 12/1973 Brisbane built LJ GTR.

Hi all,

I would like some help checking my LJ Torana, details as follows:

Little tag near firewall 8D11LDH300889

Big tag near firewall 12/73 BLJ 56548B

Same number BLJ 56548B stamped next to chassis rail on passenger side

Big tag on radiator support:

Model LJ82911

Body No 300889B

Trim 1865 50X

Paint 567 15332

The car is metallic blue, is painted blue behind rear seat, inside doors etc so it looks to be original colour

Thanks for your help

Kevin

PM on the way

Cheers

Bazza

Hi Bazza,

Thanks for that, I'm really happy the car checks out OK.

Yes, the stamped in chassis number matches the number on the ADR tag.

Hello everyone, I bought a GTR some 25 years ago. Sadly the original motor was already long gone so it had a QL prefix block as it's new power plant. I'm just going to give you all the good details & see what we think.

From the large tag on top of the firewall ADR tag

LJ TORANA SEDAN 2 DOOR. 4/72   ALJ03641B         this no. 03641B is also stamped on top inner guard passenger side.

The BODY ID tag        MODEL. LJ82911M

                                     BODY No.   03716B

                                     TRIM       1843   40X

                                    PAINT      567 13885

                                     TOP

The VIN tag          82911 J L2 29798    all tags where fix with what looked like the original hollow retainers

At the time knowing the engine was a QL. & not required I shopped around & found this complete block

with the lot engine No. JP320365 from what I have seen of this car it has had 4 paint jobs & almost

as many engines & one reasonable hit in the front left all of which make me wonder about the vin tag.

I'm sure to have more Questions but they can wait. Cheers to all the screaming 6 cylinder fans.

Thanks for any Info & help.

Hi Sandpit Daz,

the JP you mentioned is from a 4/73 XU1 vin 237774.

G'day GTR verification needed. I'm looking at buying this GTR. I have arranged to view the car soon.

I've been assured it is genuine but just want to be sure. It's an Adelaide build so the Model ID tag looks bad & may have been "adjusted" & I think not from this body. I also think the Vin may be wrong for this car.

ADR pl. LJ Torana 2 door 06/73 BLJ 25167 A note: I'm yet to see the body stamp.

VIN 8 D 11 L C L2 44524J

MODEL ID pl.

Model no. 82911

Body no. 78565 A note: this line looks bad on pl. & I think out of sequence range aswell

TRIM 1854-50x

PAINT 568-15345

The car is an older resto not to original specs using some genuine & reproduction parts as well as standard Torana parts.

I'm told It looks reasonable good & I was looking to use it as a driver while my other car is being restored.

Cheers for your assistance from Darren

PS sorry if I left the details in the wrong place earlier today.

HI Adam to be honest I don't know it was just a complete JP back in the late 80's & we didn't play the numbers game so hard back then. Water pump to fly wheel with triples & exhaust cast headers. Cost me $1000 back then & you could choose the closest one. I'll have to check it out one day, it was just a spare motor & I haven't needed it yet.

Please have a look at this thread before you consider this GTR. I almost got on a plane to view it, but the seller wanted way too much; given it's "questionable" heritage.

Hi Bushie

Welcome to the forums.

This car appears on the VIN disc as a GTR completed on 29/8/70 and exported to NZ during Sept '70.

The numbers provided all accord datewise. It is Silvermist Metallic with gold vinyl trim.

Cheers

Bazza

PS - yes iain# there has been a fair amount of interest shown.
