VN SS V.I.N NO.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 19/02/2010 - 17:50.
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."
http://oldholden.com...
Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the
linked Photo)? ...

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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

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.

Hi Holden Fan.
Yes, you are correct. It looks like an LH body with ID plates off an early LX 6-cyl
manual Papaya-coloured SL/R.

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:
I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a

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.

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.
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 :o) I've rung
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....)
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
Axle: CV4
GMH: 8M80DFJ503536
Built 11/1975
BHJ11021M
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

What do the number represent on a modern day VIN number.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 19:50.
Hi there,
Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN
numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,
Simon
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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

If your unsure if the car is originally a six or eight, Look where the speedo cable
exits through the firewall. If it exits just under the wiper motor then she's a 307
and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

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

No mate, it was in regards to Holden fan commenting that "the thread was so old but
P/Car = passenger car", where the only reason it came up again was the question in
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.
"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."
http://oldholden.com...
Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about

me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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

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.

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.
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

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

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....)
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
Axle: CV4
GMH: 8M80DFJ503536
Built 11/1975
BHJ11021M
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

What do the number represent on a modern day VIN number.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 19:50.
Hi there,
Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN
numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,
Simon
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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

If your unsure if the car is originally a six or eight, Look where the speedo cable
exits through the firewall. If it exits just under the wiper motor then she's a 307
and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

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

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

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

Hi Guys.
8M80D....... is the GM-H VIN no.(the last digit will be a Q not a zero), DHQ14885M
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
engine, built in Melbourne in either late '73 or early '74.

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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

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.

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

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....)
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

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, 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

Hi there,
Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN
numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,
Simon
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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

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.

Firewall numbers

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.

AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,

GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE

AFTER READING YOUR ADVISE OF FINDING THE CASTING No I CLEANED THE GREASE AND FOUND
1908, AND THE BUILD DATE IS 5/78, ENGINE No IS QT958251, THIS IS TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION TO MUNROMAD

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

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.
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).

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!

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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

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.

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.
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

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....)
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

Built 11/1975

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, 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

Many Thanks,

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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

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 V.I.N NO.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 19/02/2010 - 17:50.
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!

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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.

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.

someone would be able to tell me what the original colour of the car is. From the

is. any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
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 :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....)
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

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, 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

and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

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

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'

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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.

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.

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

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

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....)
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
Axle: CV4
GMH: 8M80DFJ503536
Built 11/1975
BHJ11021M
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

What do the number represent on a modern day VIN number.

Hi there,
Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN
numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,

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

If your unsure if the car is originally a six or eight, Look where the speedo cable
exits through the firewall. If it exits just under the wiper motor then she's a 307
and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

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?

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

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had

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

Hi Guys.
8M80D....... is the GM-H VIN no.(the last digit will be a Q not a zero), DHQ14885M
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

I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,

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

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.

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the

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....)
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

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, 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

Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN

Many Thanks,

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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

Bummer :-(
Submitted by DDR on Fri, 28/09/2007 - 22:33.
Pam's gone out and has the keys to the shed so i'm locked out and can't get the
info.
If your unsure if the car is originally a six or eight, Look where the speedo cable
exits through the firewall. If it exits just under the wiper motor then she's a 307
and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

thanks for the quick reply mate, shes definatly a 307. yeh, the firewall isn't
supposed to match the tags unlike the hg and the 3 tags, but i wanted to know if
the original firewall number could somehow be known from the other tag numbers or
would gmh have a record of them??

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.

Firewall numbers

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.

AFTER READING YOUR ADVISE OF FINDING THE CASTING No I CLEANED THE GREASE AND FOUND
1908, AND THE BUILD DATE IS 5/78, ENGINE No IS QT958251, THIS IS TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION TO MUNROMAD

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

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.
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).

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!

4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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

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.
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

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

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....)
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

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, 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

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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in

AFTER READING YOUR ADVISE OF FINDING THE CASTING No I CLEANED THE GREASE AND FOUND
1908, AND THE BUILD DATE IS 5/78, ENGINE No IS QT958251, THIS IS TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION TO MUNROMAD
BUS DRIVER
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.

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.
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).

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 V.I.N NO.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 19/02/2010 - 17:50.
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!

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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.

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.

BOUGHT A 1978 HZ MONARO AND GOT ENGINE Nos QT958251 IS THIS ORIGINAL OR JUST AN

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.

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the

substantiate this.

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.
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 :o) I've rung
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....)
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

Built 11/1975

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.

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
Happy to help.

What do the number represent on a modern day VIN number.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 19:50.
Hi there,
Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN
numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,
Simon
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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

If your unsure if the car is originally a six or eight, Look where the speedo cable
exits through the firewall. If it exits just under the wiper motor then she's a 307
and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

VN SS V.I.N NO.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 19/02/2010 - 17:50.
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!

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

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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 :o) I've rung
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....)

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
Axle: CV4
GMH: 8M80DFJ503536
Built 11/1975
BHJ11021M
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, 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

What do the number represent on a modern day VIN number.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 19:50.
Hi there,
Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN
numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,
Simon
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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

If your unsure if the car is originally a six or eight, Look where the speedo cable
exits through the firewall. If it exits just under the wiper motor then she's a 307
and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

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

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

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

Hi I need some help to identify a holden 1 tonner

My man has bought another tonner and I'm trying to get insurance for it before he
heads down the road. All the rego papers say is that it's a 76 HJ Holden. Naturally
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.
Many thanks in advance if anyone can help me. cheers Debbie Model HJ8WM60

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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

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.

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

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....)
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"

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

What do the number represent on a modern day VIN number.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 19:50.
Hi there,
Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN
numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,
Simon
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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

Pam's gone out and has the keys to the shed so i'm locked out and can't get the
info.
If your unsure if the car is originally a six or eight, Look where the speedo cable
exits through the firewall. If it exits just under the wiper motor then she's a 307
and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

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.

The only way to find more info is to have the original sales documentation which

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that it is the original engine based on the engine

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

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had

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

Hey everyone!
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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

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.

The engine number identifies it as a 308 and it is a high number so possibly the

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....)
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

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, 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

numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,

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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

the original firewall number could somehow be known from the other tag numbers or
would gmh have a record of them??

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.

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.

AN XUI BODY, NOW THESE I D PLATES ARE STILL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED,

GTR, , I WAS WORKING AT THIS PLANT IN 1973/74 AS DIE SETTER, AND AS THIS WAS THE

AFTER READING YOUR ADVISE OF FINDING THE CASTING No I CLEANED THE GREASE AND FOUND
1908, AND THE BUILD DATE IS 5/78, ENGINE No IS QT958251, THIS IS TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION TO MUNROMAD

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

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.
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).

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!

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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.

then why does the kingswood have GTS trim? (30X)
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.

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.
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

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....)
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
Axle: CV4

Built 11/1975
BHJ11021M
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, 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

numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,

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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in

VN SS V.I.N NO.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Fri, 19/02/2010 - 17:50.
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!

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

Is the word Powerglide cast into the case on the Driver's Side (as shown in the

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'

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.

Okay I've read all the explanations for VIN's and so far I think my ute's got about
4 Motors, a couple of bodies and a Clutch out of a Victa lawn mower! Try this for
me 8N69LHH951502Z. It's got a 4.2 V8 on One tonner chassis with steel tray.
I was hoping someone here with a lil more brains than me could tell me how to
identify between a 308 and 253??????? I just got given a 1982 WB ute and the
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,
could be the diiference between creating a GREAT ute or selling it off!

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.

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.

i think this is off the chassis or body of car BLH047137M
Yes, you are correct. It looks like an LH body with ID plates off an early LX 6-cyl
manual Papaya-coloured SL/R.

I don't have ALL the info available to me ATM, so from memory, your car is/was:
I can't remember whether 8M69 is a Kingy or not but I think it was originally a

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.

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.

Maybe get Cuddy's Vin Code Program from Holdenpaedia and check it out on that as it

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.
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...

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

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....)
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
Axle: CV4
GMH: 8M80DFJ503536
Built 11/1975
BHJ11021M
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

What do the number represent on a modern day VIN number.
Submitted by Holden Fan (not verified) on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 19:50.
Hi there,
Is the there a website or can anyone expalain what the modern (Post 1983) VIN
numbers in AUSTRALIA represent? I've search the net but could find anything.
Many Thanks,
Simon
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)
L14 in a WB is the normal 3.3 (202) 6-cyl. The same code is used for that engine in
VB, VC, VH & VK Commodores. It was L20 for HQ to HZ.

Pam's gone out and has the keys to the shed so i'm locked out and can't get the
info.
If your unsure if the car is originally a six or eight, Look where the speedo cable
exits through the firewall. If it exits just under the wiper motor then she's a 307
and if exits near the brake booster then it's a 186s. Sorry i can't help further.

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?

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

I don't know whay Holden used a series of codes for each plant but they only had
