does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

being a police car. A vn police car used in hwy patrol would have BT1 on the
compliance plate.

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.
A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

is the chassis no., 411542M is the GM-H body no. & HQ80180 is the model number.

the chassis number from body, not plate). I will get back to you with what you've
got.
Cheers.

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.
still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

well does anyone know?
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

torana lover's SL/R
Submitted by Qute on Sun, 29/07/2007 - 02:51.
Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 18:00.
Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

Sorry Fiona, forgot to look up the info for you last night...

The short version:

HJ ute, Melbourne Built, Cotillion White with Gazelle trim (no idea on what Gazelle
Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

Submitted by DDR on Sat, 29/09/2007 - 02:52.
Not as easy to do as i thought. But here's what i come up with and for those in the
know, If i stuffed it up, PLEASE say so for the holden fan's sake and my own as i'd
be horrified to lead him up the wrong track.

Your car is a sydney built car.


Paint is Pickardy Red.
Trim is black.

Dusty's brain hurts. (might stick to the shallows in future, lol)

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

well i thought i had a 253 hz gts until i took a better look at ID tags. can
someone help me figure the rest of it out

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

MODEL 8WQ69ZR ... GTS 4 Door HZ


TRIM 1930-18X ???
PAINT 568-30521 ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number
Z HZ

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

GPack VIN answer
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

18V then it is slate black.

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

being a police car. A vn police car used in hwy patrol would have BT1 on the
compliance plate.

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

Submitted by a spewin Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 02/03/2007 - 01:40.
g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,
I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

torana lover's SL/R
Submitted by Qute on Sun, 29/07/2007 - 02:51.
Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

Sorry Fiona, forgot to look up the info for you last night...

The short version:

HJ ute, Melbourne Built, Cotillion White with Gazelle trim (no idea on what Gazelle
Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

someone help me figure the rest of it out

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

MODEL 8WQ69ZR ... GTS 4 Door HZ


TRIM 1930-18X ???
PAINT 568-30521 ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

Torana VIN

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

GPack VIN answer
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

Paint colour is Absinth Yellow


I'm not sure on the trim code as I don't have a 19V listed. If it turns out it is
18V then it is slate black.
L32 = 253 engine

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

Submitted by a spewin Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 02/03/2007 - 01:40.
g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

torana lover's SL/R
Submitted by Qute on Sun, 29/07/2007 - 02:51.
Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

Sorry Fiona, forgot to look up the info for you last night...

The short version:

HJ ute, Melbourne Built, Cotillion White with Gazelle trim (no idea on what Gazelle
Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

well i thought i had a 253 hz gts until i took a better look at ID tags. can
someone help me figure the rest of it out

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

MODEL 8WQ69ZR ... GTS 4 Door HZ


TRIM 1930-18X ???
PAINT 568-30521 ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number
Z HZ

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

Torana VIN

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

GPack VIN answer
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

It's an Adelaide built HJ Belmont Panel Van.

Paint colour is Absinth Yellow


I'm not sure on the trim code as I don't have a 19V listed. If it turns out it is
18V then it is slate black.
L32 = 253 engine

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.
Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

Submitted by a spewin Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 02/03/2007 - 01:40.
g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic
The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

torana lover's SL/R
Submitted by Qute on Sun, 29/07/2007 - 02:51.
Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

Sorry Fiona, forgot to look up the info for you last night...

The short version:

HJ ute, Melbourne Built, Cotillion White with Gazelle trim (no idea on what Gazelle
Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)
The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

well i thought i had a 253 hz gts until i took a better look at ID tags. can
someone help me figure the rest of it out

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

MODEL 8WQ69ZR ... GTS 4 Door HZ


TRIM 1930-18X ???
PAINT 568-30521 ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number
Z HZ

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.


Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

GPack VIN answer
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

It's an Adelaide built HJ Belmont Panel Van.

Paint colour is Absinth Yellow


I'm not sure on the trim code as I don't have a 19V listed. If it turns out it is
18V then it is slate black.
L32 = 253 engine

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

being a police car. A vn police car used in hwy patrol would have BT1 on the
compliance plate.

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

the one off eBay
Submitted by a spewin Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 02/03/2007 - 01:40.
g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me
entertained):P

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

GTS designation was not used until late (74), before that, it was on a kingswood
base, it is a GTS, not a kingswood,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

torana lover's SL/R
Submitted by Qute on Sun, 29/07/2007 - 02:51.
Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

The short version:

Trim is...).
Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

well i thought i had a 253 hz gts until i took a better look at ID tags. can
someone help me figure the rest of it out

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

MODEL 8WQ69ZR ... GTS 4 Door HZ


TRIM 1930-18X ???
PAINT 568-30521 ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

Torana VIN

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

GPack VIN answer
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

I'm not sure on the trim code as I don't have a 19V listed. If it turns out it is
18V then it is slate black.

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.
There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

the insurance co. wants more info. They need the model and engine size before they
will even think about insuring it. These are the numbers from the compliance plate.

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

the one off eBay
Submitted by a spewin Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 02/03/2007 - 01:40.
g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me
entertained):P

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.
Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

torana lover's SL/R
Submitted by Qute on Sun, 29/07/2007 - 02:51.
Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)

Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

The short version:

Trim is...).
Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

well i thought i had a 253 hz gts until i took a better look at ID tags. can
someone help me figure the rest of it out

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

MODEL 8WQ69ZR ... GTS 4 Door HZ


TRIM 1930-18X ???
PAINT 568-30521 ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number
Z HZ

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

GPack VIN answer
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

It's an Adelaide built HJ Belmont Panel Van.

Paint colour is Absinth Yellow


I'm not sure on the trim code as I don't have a 19V listed. If it turns out it is
18V then it is slate black.
L32 = 253 engine

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

being a police car. A vn police car used in hwy patrol would have BT1 on the
compliance plate.

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

Submitted by a spewin Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 02/03/2007 - 01:40.
g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me
entertained):P

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972


Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

well does anyone know?
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

torana lover's SL/R
Submitted by Qute on Sun, 29/07/2007 - 02:51.
Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.
By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 18:00.
Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

Sorry Fiona, forgot to look up the info for you last night...

The short version:

HJ ute, Melbourne Built, Cotillion White with Gazelle trim (no idea on what Gazelle
Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

Your car is a sydney built car.


Paint is Pickardy Red.
Trim is black.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

well i thought i had a 253 hz gts until i took a better look at ID tags. can
someone help me figure the rest of it out

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

MODEL 8WQ69ZR ... GTS 4 Door HZ


TRIM 1930-18X ???
PAINT 568-30521 ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number
Z HZ

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

GPack VIN answer
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

I'm not sure on the trim code as I don't have a 19V listed. If it turns out it is
18V then it is slate black.

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

being a police car. A vn police car used in hwy patrol would have BT1 on the

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

To the 48/215 owner, the plate on the passenger side door opening is the Vin

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

action shocks and narrow rear springs found on the earlier 48/215. In other words

As far as I know the vin number was introduced in the early 70s so there is

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

is the chassis no., 411542M is the GM-H body no. & HQ80180 is the model number.

original donk has been replaced with a v8! The plates say that it was L14 engine
(which is a high comp. 202 i think), Any help in working this out would be great,

Like the guys were saying on GM-H Torana, it is most likely a replacement body
shell. However theL34/M22 codes are weird. If your willing, e-mail me the VIN (and
the chassis number from body, not plate). I will get back to you with what you've
got.
Cheers.

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

Submitted by a spewin Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 02/03/2007 - 01:40.
g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me
entertained):P

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

well does anyone know?
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)

Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

The short version:

Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

Not as easy to do as i thought. But here's what i come up with and for those in the
know, If i stuffed it up, PLEASE say so for the holden fan's sake and my own as i'd
be horrified to lead him up the wrong track.

Your car is a sydney built car.


Paint is Pickardy Red.
Trim is black.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

VN SS Vin Info

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

being a police car. A vn police car used in hwy patrol would have BT1 on the
compliance plate.

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

relation to dash colour on cars with chamois trim

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

To the 48/215 owner, the plate on the passenger side door opening is the Vin

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

action shocks and narrow rear springs found on the earlier 48/215. In other words

As far as I know the vin number was introduced in the early 70s so there is
definitely none on the FX and highly unlikely on the LJ.

the insurance co. wants more info. They need the model and engine size before they

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

is the chassis no., 411542M is the GM-H body no. & HQ80180 is the model number.
What these numbers tell us is that it is an HQ Belmont ute with a 173 hi-comp 6 cyl

original donk has been replaced with a v8! The plates say that it was L14 engine
(which is a high comp. 202 i think), Any help in working this out would be great,

NASCO SLR
Submitted by campbell on Sat, 03/03/2007 - 20:00.
Like the guys were saying on GM-H Torana, it is most likely a replacement body
shell. However theL34/M22 codes are weird. If your willing, e-mail me the VIN (and
the chassis number from body, not plate). I will get back to you with what you've
got.
Cheers.

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

well does anyone know?
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

Submitted by Qute on Sun, 29/07/2007 - 02:51.
Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

Sorry Fiona, forgot to look up the info for you last night...

The short version:

HJ ute, Melbourne Built, Cotillion White with Gazelle trim (no idea on what Gazelle
Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)


So 83 is the same as late HQ.

Not as easy to do as i thought. But here's what i come up with and for those in the
know, If i stuffed it up, PLEASE say so for the holden fan's sake and my own as i'd
be horrified to lead him up the wrong track.

Your car is a sydney built car.


Paint is Pickardy Red.
Trim is black.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

someone help me figure the rest of it out

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

TRIM 1930-18X ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.
It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

To the 48/215 owner, the plate on the passenger side door opening is the Vin

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

action shocks and narrow rear springs found on the earlier 48/215. In other words

As far as I know the vin number was introduced in the early 70s so there is
definitely none on the FX and highly unlikely on the LJ.

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

NASCO SLR
Submitted by campbell on Sat, 03/03/2007 - 20:00.
Like the guys were saying on GM-H Torana, it is most likely a replacement body
shell. However theL34/M22 codes are weird. If your willing, e-mail me the VIN (and
the chassis number from body, not plate). I will get back to you with what you've
got.
Cheers.

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,
but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

still spewin (not really, i got more than a couple of cars to keep me

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

well does anyone know?
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)

Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.
If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

The short version:

Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

Not as easy to do as i thought. But here's what i come up with and for those in the
know, If i stuffed it up, PLEASE say so for the holden fan's sake and my own as i'd
be horrified to lead him up the wrong track.

Your car is a sydney built car.


Paint is Pickardy Red.
Trim is black.

torana lj gtr
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

ENG L31 .. 308


TRANS M21 .. 4 speed
RRAXLE .. GU4 3.08:1

MODEL 8WQ69ZR ... GTS 4 Door HZ


TRIM 1930-18X ???
PAINT 568-30521 ???

VIN 8Q69THH9XXXXXZ
being

8 Holden
Q69 GTS 4 Door
T 308
H 1978
H9 Sydney ... which plant ??
XXXXX Vehicle Serial Number

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

Torana VIN
Submitted by Munromad on Sun, 20/01/2008 - 20:43.
I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

GPack VIN answer
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

It's an Adelaide built HJ Belmont Panel Van.

Paint colour is Absinth Yellow


I'm not sure on the trim code as I don't have a 19V listed. If it turns out it is
18V then it is slate black.
L32 = 253 engine
M20 = aussie 4 speed manual

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

relation to dash colour on cars with chamois trim

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.


"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

To the 48/215 owner, the plate on the passenger side door opening is the Vin

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

action shocks and narrow rear springs found on the earlier 48/215. In other words

As far as I know the vin number was introduced in the early 70s so there is
definitely none on the FX and highly unlikely on the LJ.

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

is the chassis no., 411542M is the GM-H body no. & HQ80180 is the model number.
What these numbers tell us is that it is an HQ Belmont ute with a 173 hi-comp 6 cyl

original donk has been replaced with a v8! The plates say that it was L14 engine
(which is a high comp. 202 i think), Any help in working this out would be great,

NASCO SLR
Submitted by campbell on Sat, 03/03/2007 - 20:00.
Like the guys were saying on GM-H Torana, it is most likely a replacement body
shell. However theL34/M22 codes are weird. If your willing, e-mail me the VIN (and
the chassis number from body, not plate). I will get back to you with what you've
got.
Cheers.

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS

The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.
If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

it, and I want to know if the VIN numbers indicate whether it has a 307 or 327 in
it?
Body 80737KJ131188
HK80737-25335M
Trim 1173-18X
Paint 585-10856
The firewall has HK25700M stamped into it.

well does anyone know?
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

Cheers...Dave

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

The short version:

Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

cars. I had 2 Syd HZ both 78's and 1 did and 1 didnt. The numbers themselves mean
nothing at all and they are stamped just above the heater box pad.

be horrified to lead him up the wrong track.

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 24/10/2007 - 16:31.
I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

being a police car. A vn police car used in hwy patrol would have BT1 on the
compliance plate.

Check the dates and which comment was being responded to before you drop in a
comment bro, otherwise you might appear foolish, you responded to a comment made 5
YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

relation to dash colour on cars with chamois trim

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

To the 48/215 owner, the plate on the passenger side door opening is the Vin

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

action shocks and narrow rear springs found on the earlier 48/215. In other words

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

Like the guys were saying on GM-H Torana, it is most likely a replacement body
shell. However theL34/M22 codes are weird. If your willing, e-mail me the VIN (and
the chassis number from body, not plate). I will get back to you with what you've
got.

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a

The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS

The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

Hi Davo,

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972


Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

lc torana
Submitted by lcgtrtorana52 (not verified) on Tue, 03/07/2007 - 01:09.
hi i have an lc gtr torana with a paint code that is 567 10974 i was wondering if
someone would be able to tell me what the original colour of the car is. From the
information i have found on this site i believe that the HT monara has the same
code for one of the colours but still have been unable to find out what colour that
is. any help would be greatly appreciated.

well does anyone know?
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.
By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)

Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

The short version:

Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

collecting my numbers!
Submitted by Phoenix-E on Wed, 03/09/2008 - 20:59.
Are the numbers your referring to in the engine bay side of the firewall? Where is
the number on the firewall meant to be on a HZ? Is it stamped or stencilled with
white paint? What do the numbers on the firewall usually mean?

I have 2 HZ's (1. sedan and 1. panel van) both built with 253's.

Cheers

Jesse

Firewall numbers
Submitted by Mr.Jones on Wed, 03/09/2008 - 21:37.
Ecoimpact the firewall numbers generally only appeared on Sydney and Adelaide built
cars. I had 2 Syd HZ both 78's and 1 did and 1 didnt. The numbers themselves mean
nothing at all and they are stamped just above the heater box pad.

Not as easy to do as i thought. But here's what i come up with and for those in the
know, If i stuffed it up, PLEASE say so for the holden fan's sake and my own as i'd
be horrified to lead him up the wrong track.

Your car is a sydney built car.


Paint is Pickardy Red.
Trim is black.

I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.
Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

being a police car. A vn police car used in hwy patrol would have BT1 on the
compliance plate.

Check the dates and which comment was being responded to before you drop in a
comment bro, otherwise you might appear foolish, you responded to a comment made 5
YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

relation to dash colour on cars with chamois trim

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

To the 48/215 owner, the plate on the passenger side door opening is the Vin

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

action shocks and narrow rear springs found on the earlier 48/215. In other words

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

Like the guys were saying on GM-H Torana, it is most likely a replacement body
shell. However theL34/M22 codes are weird. If your willing, e-mail me the VIN (and
the chassis number from body, not plate). I will get back to you with what you've
got.

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a
debate to try and prove they are supereior.

As mentioned in this thread (I think),
The early HQ's used the Kingswood designation, and the late switched to the GTS
code,
The trim code (black) tells me that it is a genuine GTS,,,,

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

Cheers...Dave

lc torana
Submitted by lcgtrtorana52 (not verified) on Tue, 03/07/2007 - 01:09.
hi i have an lc gtr torana with a paint code that is 567 10974 i was wondering if
someone would be able to tell me what the original colour of the car is. From the
information i have found on this site i believe that the HT monara has the same
code for one of the colours but still have been unable to find out what colour that
is. any help would be greatly appreciated.

well does anyone know?
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes
Submitted by Qute on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 23:42.
Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.
thanks for the websites,i will try them.

Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 21:30.
Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 18:03.
Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

The short version:

HJ ute, Melbourne Built, Cotillion White with Gazelle trim (no idea on what Gazelle
Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308
powered vehicle. M40 is a Trimatic and GV4 (not CV) is a 3.36:1 diff in an HJ.

No idea on Gazelle either,
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?
I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

GMH were no help when i tried to, not decode, but just find out if my HK (80737k)

The lady on the phone said GMH shredded everything to do with early models and
there was no way she could help. I never bothered GMH again. I hear of people

Warren Turnbull or Byron Rich have a Monaro register but i'm unsure what that is

collecting my numbers!
Submitted by Phoenix-E on Wed, 03/09/2008 - 20:59.
Are the numbers your referring to in the engine bay side of the firewall? Where is
the number on the firewall meant to be on a HZ? Is it stamped or stencilled with
white paint? What do the numbers on the firewall usually mean?
I have 2 HZ's (1. sedan and 1. panel van) both built with 253's.

Cheers

Jesse

Firewall numbers
Submitted by Mr.Jones on Wed, 03/09/2008 - 21:37.
Ecoimpact the firewall numbers generally only appeared on Sydney and Adelaide built
cars. I had 2 Syd HZ both 78's and 1 did and 1 didnt. The numbers themselves mean
nothing at all and they are stamped just above the heater box pad.

be horrified to lead him up the wrong track.

Your car is a sydney built car.

Trim is black.

I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

Hoping what Ive got here is correct .. please advise me if its not and could
someone please help with Trim and Paint codes. I think its Palias White paint and
its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 06:54.
The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.

does anyone know what p/car means. it is at the end of the V.I.N No. on my atlas
grey VN SS. can anyone help me?

P/CAR - means it was a government order vehicle for the Police Department.
P/Car is short for Police Car.

I have had a few over the years and the latest one I have with P/CAR is a 2002 VY
Sedan.
In my specfic case, the VY was built 1 month, before offical release to the public.

Your VN SS in the Atlas Gray, would of served the purpose of a unmark patrol car or
more like a D's vehicle.

Good luck with the SS, I owned one a few years back and it was in Atlas Grey with a
5 speed manual... heaps of fun!

YEARS ago, the reason the thread popped up again was because of the question asked
about chamois trim...

Powerglide Casting
Submitted by T on Thu, 02/07/2015 - 00:07.
Hi John,

I know you have a lot of Powerglide experience, so I think you are the man to ask.

A poster indicated that "Powerglide" might be cast into the Case.

"You might have to scrape some crud off to read it but "POWERGLIDE" is in big
letters on the side of the casing of the latter."

From this thread ...

http://oldholden.com...

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Hi Guys.

It's an HX Monaro GTS 4-door, 5 litre V8 made between 1 July 76 & 1 Sept 76.

There is something not quite right about the letters/numbers after the 'F'. The 'Z'
shouldn't be there.

Cant give you an exact no. but it will be around QL965xxx give or take a couple of

the current rego and chassis no.

To the 48/215 owner, the plate on the passenger side door opening is the Vin

then back to the Chassis for FJ again, your car is called and "Airide or Intro"

action shocks and narrow rear springs found on the earlier 48/215. In other words

numbers
Submitted by Arsewipe on Mon, 08/01/2007 - 21:34.
67V= tan trim,
non matching numbers does not mean the car is no longer a Monaro, it just lessens
it's value when numbers don't match,,
From what we can gather here, it appears as though Sydney was the only plant where
all numbers matched, IE: body number on the firewall matched the numbers on the
chassis and tags,,
Every other plant appears to have only matching numbers with the chassis and ID
tags, and the body number on the firewall was insignificant,,
Yours has the matching body to the ID tag, (as per Sydney built), and has had an
early Adelaide HX chassis swap,, chassis swaps are not all that uncommon, most
either got bent or cracked, very few survive 30 odd years on the same car,,,,

Like the guys were saying on GM-H Torana, it is most likely a replacement body
shell. However theL34/M22 codes are weird. If your willing, e-mail me the VIN (and
the chassis number from body, not plate). I will get back to you with what you've
got.

you got what i need.
Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Sat, 11/08/2007 - 22:45.
LH8VD69 are in fact LH SL/R compliance plates an they are exactly what i need
because the LH SL/R i rescued from the wreckers many years ago an was lead to
believe by them i was getting it before they had a chance to rip her heart out,but
i was lied to an recently found out that the former owner of that wrecking yard
underhandedly swapped plates on me leaving me with an original LK SL/R 6cyl which
is rare as hens teeth with bloody stock sl compliance plate,so there fore you have
in your possesion exactly what i need to give my sl/r its dignity back.
if there is any chance at all your willing to sell me those plates,please email me
at daworldismine2day@ms... an name your price,

but if you dont want to sell them then cherish the piece of torana history with a
smile.

g'day mate, sounds like you brought the torry off eBay.
the paint code is primer yeh?
it seems like you scored an slr5000 with a replacement body shell, chances are it
was writtten off back in the day when they were still available. u probly should
add some contact details as their are a
few blokes here that really know their stuff and could help you. *but then again
the other 90% dont know much but they like to assume, posted info will just be a

My mistake. I missed the earlier date. I was going off code information collected
years back, which I confirmed with the following information from P.120 of AMC #24:
"In an unusual move, a change in the luxury level(trim design/comfort
level)occurred during the model run. In July 1973, the Kingswood luxury
designation(N) was changed to GTS(Q)".
I believe 30X refers to Black vinyl. Is it the case that GTS are the only Kingswood
that came with black vinyl? I just assumed not. But My apologies to all involved if
I'm wrong and this is the case.
Cheers.

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Thu, 08/03/2007 - 19:11.
Well it's a 308 and the serial number is looking pretty good to be a HZ engine.

What is the date code on the engine block?

It is a 3 or 4 digit code on the top front of the engine block (just near the top
of the water pump)

Post that here and the build date of your car and we'll be able to get a better
idea if it's the original engine.

Is your HZ originally a 308?

HZ Holden GTS Sedan, built in Adelaide

Engine = 308 V8
Transmission = M21 4 speed manual
Diff = 3.36:1 ratio Salisbury

Trim = Buckskin & Cloth


Paint = Super Mint Metallic

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the
original engine but we would need the date code from the engine to be able further
substantiate this.

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:

Built in Dec 1972

Is is a Melbourne built car.

I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a
253.

If I can get Net access tonight (trouble with phone lines at home), I'll look up
the rest of your VIN in my books at home and post tonight.

Cheers...Dave

hi i have an lc gtr torana with a paint code that is 567 10974 i was wondering if
someone would be able to tell me what the original colour of the car is. From the
information i have found on this site i believe that the HT monara has the same
code for one of the colours but still have been unable to find out what colour that
is. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 18:00.
can anyone at all help me to identify my vehicle,i can tell you its definately an
sl/r body but its the vin plates an the make an model plates im having trouble
with.i do know the lh sl/r and slr 5000 was based on the sl torana,especially the
six cylinder sl/r version, both being with out the flare kit even though with
upgrades making them better than the standard sl.
im asking it to be identified so that i have something to show people who all
assume(we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups)they all assume
that an slr has to be the lx slr 5000 with the 308 motor with the flare kit,the
beast as its known,an im sick of people making that idiotic assumption which only
shows their own limited knowledge of holdens grand history.
any help id'n my lh sl/r as a genuine sl/r or one that has sl plates would be a
great help as to redirecting the unknowledgable people to catch up on their history
of holdens or back to their own driveways to attempt relations with their fords.

LH SL/R Codes

Sorry, mate, I'm not too sure on the Torry codes although I do know there was an
SL/R3300, SL/R4200 as well as the SL/R5000.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it
seems most of our Torry guys are away ATM.

Alternatively, gmh-torana.com would be a good place to check.

thanks dave,
yes the sl/r 3300 is the 202 version the slr 4200 was also lh torana with the 253
and the beast slr 5000 was the beast with the flare kit an the 308 in it,which is
what my car is continuosly an unfairly compared to,an called a sl just because it
has no flare kit an 308,so im just trying to make sure i have what i think i have
which is rarer than flying pigs if i can confirm it.

Actually, the SL/R5000 only had the bobtail and front spoiler standard, no flares.

It was the L34's and A9X's that had the flares standard.

A mate of mine used to have an LX SL/R5000 in the metallic purple colour and it had
an L31/M21/2.78 Banjo LSD but no flares...

thanks everyone for your input.
i have now contacted the eliabeth GMH plant here in south australia an it seems the
number plates where registered to an sl/r 6cyl previously so it seems along the
lines the plates have been swapped on me,i dare say at the auto wreckers where i
found it.apon calling them,the man i spoke to pretty much admitted taking the
plates until i mentioned i was the current owner an not happy,then he just clammed
up an denied any knowledge an claimed the former owner of the auto wreckers who has
now apparantly an conviniently moved over seas or interstate(as the two answers i
got from him being lies) so thank you for all of your help an i now know that
nothing is sacred when it comes to those butchers or motor vehicles,an my car which
is a sl/r,has her plates registered to another car while im left with sl plates on
my car.so much for finding a sleeper to hang on to an thats crushed my faith in
common decency.

The model codes of Q69 means they are both GTS Monaro sedans.

Kingswood would be 8N69. Premiers would be 8P69

So both are genuine and both were originally 308's

Fiona's Ute
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 15/09/2007 - 04:17.
The engine appears to have a NSW Police Issued number which means it has been
stolen and recovered but the number was defaced or, more likely, it has been decked
and the original engine number was removed in that process.

That VIN means nothing to me. It isn't a normal HJ VIN in any case.

By the sounds of it, check this ute out VERY thoroughly, including with the Rego
authorities in your State.

Thanks :o)

I've rung Canberra Federal Police who can identify the rego as legit and ok with
those two numbers. Turns out they have the C... registered as the chassis number
not the VIN but they are one and the same arn't they? Anyhoo, they have notes in
their computer saying that the chassis number was double-stamped and illegible to
read, and they re-stamped it in August 2004 with clearance from the Aust Federal
Police, and this is the same engine number in the vehicle at that same time. The
NSW police would not look up the engine number for me so I can't get any
confirmation out of them. But would I be right in assuming that all numbers are
cleared by the Australian Federal Police then I will be okay purchasing vehicle?
(though this will be a very good bargaining tool in bringing the price down....)

Fiona's Ute (2)

Holdens have a body and a chassis number. The chassis number is the one usually
used for rego purposes. If the Rego people confirm they stamped both those numbers
on it, it should be OK.

If you can have a look at the ute, note the numbers on the body tag(s) and post
them here. Then we can decipher more information about the ute...

Well I emailed the seller with all I had learnt about the chassis number and what
you told me about the engine number and he replied as follows:

"when i changed the rego from nsw to act they found the police stamp and it was
taken to forensics for a week. they found the engine had been in a stolen car that
was recovered and then was sold at police auction. everything was all cleared and i
got it back. the vin i gave you was on the rego papers but i will try to find that
and the other numbers for you. i purchased the car from a airforce bloke in
londonderry nsw, him and is brother or uncle did all the work on it (engine, paint
etc) my sister and brother in law are cops in sydney but i dont think they will be
able to do any enquirys into it as they are in different fields eg sepcial opps and
youth leaison. so i will try to get the numbers to you and it should be all good"

and today he got these numbers from the car for me:

Model: HJ8KM80
Body: 503536M
Trim: 1888-64W
Paint: 568-15951
Engine: LD1
Trans: M40

Trim is...).

Are you sure the Engine Code is LD1? If it is L31, the ute is an original 308

Submitted by a Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 20:16.
No idea on Gazelle either, isn't that some kind of African animal or something?

I was guessing the Melbourne build, the CV4=GV4 & LD1=L31 too. It's fascinated me
actually, like lookng into a previous life. The ute is now 2 pak black, the 308
inside is obviously not from this car originally, but now has VN-VT injection heads
on it, there's now an M21 c/r box instead of the trimatic and the interior is
black/grey.

I got through to Vicroads yesterday finally and was able to confirm that these
numbers are on a national register and I'll have no problems at all registering
them. Now I just have to wait for my money to come though to buy the car... lol

Cheers very much for all your help!!

VIN decoding
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 21:01.
The VIN introduced in 1968 runs to 1972. (starts 8 then number)

The 72 system runs to 88. (starts 8 then letter)

(Ashlie's programme covers these two for some models)

The 88 system runs to VY and also replaces the chassis number, this is why the rego
papers have chassis/VIN. Chassis number applies to pre VN Holdens and VIN to post
VN (starts 6H8)

The VY on is still in use. (starts 6G1)

So 83 is the same as late HQ.

there was no way she could help. I never bothered GMH again. I hear of people
obtaining verification letters and/or info but i had no such help.
Warren Turnbull or Byron Rich have a Monaro register but i'm unsure what that is
for or does (These guys live at Fastlane).

collecting my numbers!
Submitted by Phoenix-E on Wed, 03/09/2008 - 20:59.
Are the numbers your referring to in the engine bay side of the firewall? Where is
the number on the firewall meant to be on a HZ? Is it stamped or stencilled with
white paint? What do the numbers on the firewall usually mean?

I have 2 HZ's (1. sedan and 1. panel van) both built with 253's.

Cheers

Jesse

Firewall numbers
Submitted by Mr.Jones on Wed, 03/09/2008 - 21:37.
Ecoimpact the firewall numbers generally only appeared on Sydney and Adelaide built
cars. I had 2 Syd HZ both 78's and 1 did and 1 didnt. The numbers themselves mean
nothing at all and they are stamped just above the heater box pad.

be horrified to lead him up the wrong track.

Your car is a sydney built car.


Paint is Pickardy Red.
Trim is black.

I have a lj torana gtr which is a two owner vehicle,This car has travelled
150thousand kilometers in its 34 years, and is in mint condition, I have owned this
vehicle for 23 years, all the numbers match according to the original log book and
rego certicicate. Some one was looking at the car recently and noticed the number
on one of the tags right side front, had the number 8D11LPH32575, IS A NUMBER FOR
AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,
THECAR WAS BUILT IN THE 12 MONH OF DECEMBER 1973 AT ACACIA RIDGE BEISBANE PLANT AND
SOLD BY zUPPS OF IPSWICH. THIS IS DEFINALLY A GTR TORANA STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL JL
MOTOR BUT nOW THIS NUMBER THING HAS BEEN POINTED OUT, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS
COULD BE ,OR DID THE GM BOYS MAKE A MISTAKE AT THE PLANT WHEN THEY STAMPED THIS
NUMBER, PERHAPS THIS CAR WAS DESTINED FOR XU1 BUT WAS DOWN GRADED AND MADE TO A
GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE
CHANGE OVER PERIOD FOR THE NEW MODELS , THE PLACE WAS BUZZING. CAN ANY ONE PUT ME
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION HERE. john

HZ GTS engine
Submitted by Munromad on Mon, 29/10/2007 - 09:01.
It is the correct prefix and the number is in the correct range for a HZ.
Check out the casting date on the top front of the engine block to find out exactly
when the engine was cast to get a more accurate idea.

GTS V8 Engine number - Bus Driver
Submitted by Munromad on Tue, 30/10/2007 - 22:13.
I would guess that the 0 in 1908 is probably either a C or a D which would indicate
a casting date of 19March78 or 19April78.

Either of these would be a likely candidate to be the original engine.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which
lists the engine number.

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine
number and casting date.

lc numbers
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Mon, 05/11/2007 - 09:59.
g'day one and all.
i'm trying to find out numbers about my lc. it's a two door with gtr guards
(appears the whole front end has been replaced at some stage). i think i may be
missing a plate as the only thing i can find is a plate that goes on the radiator
support panel and a stamped number that is on the inner guard (passenger side).
both numbers correspond (27991A).
this is all i can find. i know the engine certainly isn't original- the fact that
it's a black motor with dry sump and turbo set up sorta gives that away!
i have rego papers with the car (currently unregistered)and all that it says is
what i've stated here.
am i missing a plate and if so how do i find out paint codes etc.
any help would be appreciated

its got black with cloth insert trim but not sure if this is what was original. So
much for it being 253 from Brisbane .. spose its better to check id for myself
rather than takeing anothers word for it.

Top End Trucker GTS
Submitted by Qute on Sat, 29/12/2007 - 17:43.
Although made in Sydney, your GTS could have been purchased in Brisbane...

According to the info I have available to me, it is/was Palais White with Slate
Black and Cloth interior.

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
one plant in Sydney (Paigewood).

Both of these are chassis numbers, if they are both on the same car then it has had
a front end change, ie large front end accident and the front RH rail replaced with
another from a wreck.

I have not had anything to do with Torana's but I'll have a crack. The VIN's follow
the same basic rules as Monaro's etc.

I think it is a 202 LH Torana "S" sedan.

Were the G Packs based of "S" models?

The Gpack was based on a Torana S and that is what the VIN states, 202 Torana S.

If it was built in Brisbane it will have the vehicle option code on the big tag,
other plants you cannot tell.
