Hi,
I know this question has probably been asked a million times on here but I hardly look at the LC/LJ stuff so wouldn't have seen the answers given.
Anyway can a LJ XU1 be verified with just the body tag, engine number and the chassis number? I was looking at a car that is being sold as an XU1 but only has the body plate in way of tags, so am I right in thinking that without the vin tag its useless?
Cheers.

Hey, I was if anybody could help I have a rolling chassis of a LC 2 door torana, the problem I have is that the VIN plate and the body identification plates are missing,
the only plate I have out of the three is the Safety Compliance Plate.
This tells me it was manufactured April 1970, the chassis number is LC 09267 B
it does have the 18 gallon fuel tank in the boot, the fluked guards and under the left rear quarter window there are two holes, I think are the gtr badge holes.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff
Welcome to the forum. Sorry mate, nothing can be gained from a Brisbane Chassis Number. The back of your ADR tag may reveal the Body Number but that won't help identify the model either. If your car has any GTR identifiers, the best that you can say it that it is a "tagless" GTR.

Hi Mick
Welcome to the forum.
That VIN relates to a Sydney assembled GTR. There is no completion date, but looking at VINs in the same range, I would suggest a completion date of mid-Nov '69. Being pre Jan 1970 there will be no ADR plate fitted under the bonnet. The Chassis Number and Sydney Body Number are date consistent with the VIN. Engine numbers were rarely recorded in the early days of the LC range, but I can say that 2600S6xxx would be right for a Nov '69 completed car.
The colour is Verdoro Green Metallic and the interior trim is Sandalwood vinyl.
Remember that the tags are only half the story and an expert should inspect any potential purchase.
It looks the goods - good luck.
Cheers
Bazza

Hello again Bazza
Thank you for the incredibly fast responce to my questions !!!
I thought the letter "B" on the Chassis and at the end of the body number meant Brisbane build,which would not match with H6.
One last question,can you tell me who dealer 602 is please?
Regards again
Mick

Hi Mick
You are correct, the suffix "B" does signify Brisbane. Sydney used Brisbane built chassis and Melbourne used Adelaide built chassis. Sorry we don't have the name of dealer 602, but it was located in NSW.

Hi guys!
I not so long bought a "supposed" LC GTR. ID tags came with the car, but were taken off in its life sometime (perhaps for painting as it has been resprayed, engine bay and all). I have 2 tags, the 1st is the one that lists the model, body number, trim etc.. and the other is a thin skinny one (looks real old and ratty).
I was wondering if it was possible to get any info on the car, and find out if it is infact a GTR.
1st Tag
Model - LC 82911 (i understand thats the GTR code)
Body # - 2089-A
Trim - 1803-48 V
Paint - 567-12185
2nd Tag
8C69LCL246930J
The VIN that Vicroads has recorded here is LC19434A.
That VIN looks like it matches a number stamped into the top left hand side wheel arch in the engine bay.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Cheers in advance

Hi Krustoph
Firstly, the long skinny tag is from a July 1973 LJ SL 4 door. The Chassis Number LC19434A accords with a production date of Oct 1970. The Body Tag with the number 2089-A is from a GTR (or XU-1) from Oct 1970. There is no way to tell whether the Body Tag 'belongs' to that Chassis despite being from around the same period.
You will need to have a skilled person take a look at your car to determine whether is is the real deal. It may be a GTR or XU-1 produced in Adelaide or a GTR produced in Melbourne. Both assembly plants used Adelaide parts. The worst case scenario is that you have a 2 door S model fitted with mixed tags. Do you have the original engine number? The colour from the Body Tag is Burnished Bronze Met with Sandalwood trim. It is not likely to be an XU-1 with this combination.
Cheers

Thanks Bazza for your quick reply.
Im already aware that the chance of it being an XU-1 is very rare, if not NIL. Ive been trying to confirm that is is infact a GTR (atleast) with a number of sources (including my mechanic that built one of Brockys L34's for Bathurst (1974 / 5 if i remember correctly)) and no one has suggested that is is anything less than a GTR. It is a bit frustrating trying to get that info given that I cant even verify if the tags I have are from the car itself. I had a sure feeling that the "long skinny tag" (to use correct terminology) was off something else. I will continue to badger people and get their advice and tap into the knowledge to verify that it is what I think it is.
As far as the engine number, in the early 1980's the car was modified with a 308 V8 with mild cam. I might give VICroads a call and see if I can get the original engine number for the car.
Are there any tell tail signs between an 2 door S model and a GTR? perhaps a bracket in the boot where the spare wheel well is? Boot light? or anything else? Ive been through google and many forums but there is just no info that I can find that can tell you any difference between the 2.
Once again, thanks Bazza for your assistance, it is so much appreciated you will never know!!
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris
The LC GTR had a different accelerator bracket spot welded to the firewall, triangular shaped plate sitting horizontally with a pivot pin protruding up vertically off it for the relay lever to suit the push/pull action of the WW2 carb.
LC 6cyl S, SL & XU1 and all LJ 6yl models all have the smaller bracket with the large hole to suit the rubber grommet and sintered bronze bush.
If the larger GTR triangular bracket isn't present on the firewall check for signs that it may have been removed or if it is present that it may have been welded on by someone other than at the factory.
Cheers
Dave
