Hi Bob

 

The engine number can usually assist in the identification of a vehicle but unfortunately the VIN disc does not include the engine number for exported cars.  The Brisbane Chassis Number ALJ1158B pins the production date down to around the 4th to the 6th of September 1972 and the engine number that you have provided is consistent with the same period. The 13 character VIN disc is the usual method of identification (if it is available). There were 8 exported GTRs completed around this period - one of which may well be yours.

 

Cheers

G/day Neil

 

VIN number 82911ch173724 comes up as a Brisbane build GTR XU1 completed on 8/10/1970 and sold 12/70 by Dealer 754 in Queensland.

The original engine number was X022176.

The model number is actually 82911M

568 12205 is Rally Red

40V is Black vinyl trim.

I'll leave the body number confirmation on this one to Bazza.

The chassis number stamped into the left hand wheelhouse panel is also needed for confirmation.

 

Your LC (if it is 10/70 build) should have 3 tags. Sounds like you may be missing the compliance plate mounted on the upper dash panel near the wiper motor.

Be aware that if there are no factory rivet holes in the upper dash panel for a compliance plate then you may indeed have a 1969 build GTR that is missing it's original tags.

Hi Neil

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

In summary, you have the VIN tag 82911CH173724 and the Body Identification Plate with the Model Number 82911M and Body Number 11453-B. The details on these tags are consistent with each other.

 

A problem arises with identification of the vehicle, in that, with the absence of the ADR compliance tag, there is nothing to tie these two tags to the car to which they are attached.Under normal circumstances there is a cross-check between Chassis Number that is stamped onto the ADR tag, and the Chassis Number that is stamped into the inner guard. These two numbers must be identical. For this reason, and without meaning to cause you alarm, t has been my experience that it is common for ADR tags to "go missing" where a car has been rebodied.

 

If you provide the Chassis Number that is stamped into the inner wheelhouse/guard - I can at least confirm or deny whether this number appears to agree timewise with the other numbers. This will provide strong (but not conclusive) evidence that the vehicle appears to be genuine. The likelihood of the car being genuine will also be enhanced if the vehicle displays the numerous identifiers of an LC GTR or XU-1.

 

Cheers

HI,Bazza,as I have a broken collarbone (damn trailbikes) I have plenty of time on my hand, I was asked to verify a "genuine" XU1 for an interested buyer,mate at work.I feel confident as it is a 10 year owner currently in possession.My mate at work is thinking of buying it.

Is it best to post numbers here or just PM you directly. I have tried the dsic thread but it does not work.

regards mervx

Hi Gary

 

My experience is that the tendency with most potential buyers is to keep the tag details from public gaze (presumably so as not to show their hand). Either way is fine with me.

Hi Troy and welcome to the Forum.

 

Are you 100% sure the Vin number is H238087?

A pic of your Vin tag please, if possible?

 

Regards

Dave.

Hi Troy

 

Further to Dave's response - the VIN comes up as an S model 2 door. The Body Number that you have provided fits with a 6th Month '72 build date and 40X can only be the GTR/XU-1 variant. I suspect that you have misread the VIN. What is the Chassis Number on the ADR tag and inner wheelhouse? Do you have the original engine number?

 

Cheers

Hi Troy

 

The Chassis Number ALJ06544B is a good match for both the build date and the Body Number. So it's just a matter of clarifying the VIN. I checked to see if it might be H238078 but that number doesn't even appear. I have found a number of VINs that for some reason didn't make it onto the VIN records (input operator error perhaps?).

 

Cheers

I will get back to you in a couple of days when I can get the vin double checked. I Was told that the police ID tag would have been attached to the dash and there is two holes on the left side of the glove box also there is a hole in the centre of roof about a 1 1/2 feet back from the windscreen would they have had that for the police antenna

Hi Troy

 

That's much better thanks.

 

The car appears on the VIN disc as a GTR completed in Brisbane on 9/6/72 and sold later the same month by dealer 865. The original engine number was JL162010.

The tag details all accord datewise.

 

Dealer 865 was Boyded Pty Ltd of 236 -242 South Terrace, Bankstown is believed to be one of a number of dealerships that distributed NSW Police vehicles. I have not had conclusive proof of this so someone may chime in with more info.

 

Cheers
