You need tags details without them pretty much cant tell

[meanmachine72]

his got something to hide

[Indy Orange]

If you can't get info on the tags privately,I'd be doubtful on it being an original GTR .

Check before the cheque.So realistically your buying a two door Torana ,Looks like a nice car.

[RallyRed]

That car appears to be nice, 50k for a nice 2 door is prob. not bad these days.

 

If it's a GTR, even better. 

 

As above, if it's a GTR you are after, then tags and inspection are an absolute must. 

 

Good luck with it.

Sounds like your typical chancer, I’ve met lots of them over the years!

 

This is the sort of car that you need to go and look at very carefully. The recent bodywork could be hiding all sorts of war crimes.

Ive found some gems and found some dogs with similar stories.

 

For that price it would want to be a very very good non GTR.

 

Bet you it’s still “all over Facebook “ and still for sale in a fortnight.

never saw it on fakebook

[Liz Clare]

There is an LJ 2door advertised for sale as a GTR but the guy won’t send me pics of the tags to verify. Can anyone help me with the limited information i have to get a better idea of it being genuine?
Year - 1/1973
Tag/Body/Chassis Numbers - Trying to verify
Engine Number - Trying to verify

Rego number in the pics might give you some info if you check it on the RMS site.

 

Cheers,

Drives like a new car what an absolute wanker

If it is a 1/73 build Torana the chassis number will be BLJ18022B. Approx completion date for this chassis number would be around the 17th January.

Not many GTR built at Acacia Ridge in January 1973. Count them on one hand. Closest GTR completed  was on the 23/01/1973.

If you had GTR tags wouldn't you be promoting them at the top of the features list as this would be the most desirable feature?

Hi

 

Cool yer jets folks - it's a March '73. One of the first of the '73 colour options and 50 series trim.

Hi Nathan, I dont know the owner, or the car. Just searched on Steve's FB, then on GTR.
There's a lot of pics of painting, re wire etc on there. Looks good


think it was 70K back a few years ago......

BLJ32022B is not the VIN number. It is the chassis number.

[yel327]

Engine number is wrong. Will be QL929407 from a HZ around March 1978. If you are going to buy it get that engine number checked rather than the CL one to make sure it’s all OK.

I found my ID plate on gumtree for sale once. So I know where he is coming from.

[S pack]

I don't buy the excuse. Even if he won't send a pic of the plates he could at least tell you the VIN/PSN number so you can check it out to confirm it is what he says it is.

[yel327]

Also all the Qx9294xx numbers I can find are 4.2L engines, even those close to it like 929402-3. Makes me wonder if it isn’t a real number.

[yel327]

Edit - I just found a couple at Acacia Ridge. QL929423, 24, 28, 30, 34, 36, 38, 45 and QM929400. Given there were none recorded at Elizabeth or Pagewood that I could find I’d say pretty much most QL9294xx engines came from Acacia Ridge vehicles, 407 probably did too.
