Hey we are hoping with your help, to fill in the missing pieces to our LJ Torana puzzle.

 

We have skinny tag, tag with paint and trim etc, and the stamp on the inner wheel arch.

We are missing the tag that goes near the firewall with build month/date.

 

Body number/Chassis number: ALJ09345A

 

2 Door LJ Torana S 

Chateau Mauve

Black Trim

Adelaide Build

 

We are hoping someone can help us figure out the build month and year.

 

Building our car is a great adventure and we enjoy connecting with like minded people along the way.

 

Thankyou Dan & L-J

Chassis number ALJ 09345A is consistent with July 1972 manufacture. Probably mid month or thereabouts.

Post up its PSN, or the complete number on the VIN tag and we'll tell you exactly what date it was completed.
