Another GTR has popped up on Trademe - someone has obviously spent a lot of time with it, and looking at it, needs quite a lot more!

 

VIN 82911CH171021

Body 10439B

 

the last time this came up (2013) there was a screenshot of the chassis number on the inner guard: LC 15234B

 

Whoever owned this in a previous life must have really hated LC Toranas methinks.

Hi all

 

The seller is adamant that it is an 9/70 XU-1. Apart from the VIN, the original colour was Kashmir White. There's a clue.

 

Cheers

Hi bat 53

 

Not much to work with there. The Chassis Number LC21048A dates to 11th-13th of Nov 1970. The other number 183915 doesn't exist, but 163915 appears as a GTR completed on 13th Nov 1970. Please check the numbers again and see if there is a Body Number and paint colour on a Body Identification tag. The Body Number should be around 02480-A. L163915 was sold by Melville Motors, Canning Hwy. Melville WA, further pointing to the fact that this may be the correct VIN.

 

Cheers

Hi I’m new to the group and am after some advice which is why I’ve joined the conversation.
Hopefully I continue to be a part of the Torana community because I’m looking to buy one soon preferably an LC or LJ two door.
I need some urgent advice on a car I have found for sale it’s claimed to be a LJ GTR-XU1 but I’m struggling to confirm it on my own.
The details I have are

82911JL201271
2/5/72
JP 142991 (not sure if it’s original not in car)
Body number 377-A

Can anyone please help and confirm the details I have on the car. All I can find is that it’s built in Adelaide and is a GTR at the least.
I see that the Bathurst XU1 where built there in July August Sept but I cannot find anything about Xu1 ‘a being built there in May.
Also the car is 95K and is in good condition with some rust issues and has a roll cage welded in it.
Is this a fair price I’m not sure and I don’t want to make a 95K mistake

Thanks heaps for your advice in advance

Can't help with the numbers sorry, but for that kind of money I'd be very wary of a car that only has one of the 3 tags present. It might be a fine race car though.

Hi James  - That is a Melbourne built GTR completed on 18/11/69 and sold by Market Motors P/L 16 Melbourne Rd Dandenong Vic during Feb '70. There were no XU-1s built in Melbourne and in any case this car was built about 7 months before the first XU-1 came on the scene.

 

Cheers

I'm fairly sure the Trim on the plate is 1190-40X. Are you able to tell me what this is?

Apologies Dan,

 

568-11429 is Sebring Orange.

You are correct, the trim combination number for Sebring Orange is 1190.

Think I better make an appointment with my Optometrist.

 

Cheers

Dave.

That's great and many thanks Dave! The details are quite difficult to read on the plates but the 568-11429 is clear.

The only thing the chassis number ALJ10057A tells us is it is an LJ Torana built in the Elizabeth VAP in S.A during July 1972.

Hello All
I’m looking for as much info as possible on this vehicle I’m looking to purchase.

The body ID plate is missing but I have the vin and engine number

Vin : 8D11LCH253811J
Eng: JL238857
Year : 10/72
Chassis: ALJ14917V

Thanks gents

H253811 is a Brisbane build GTR completed on the 25/10/1972 at the Acacia Ridge VAP and sold during November 1972 by Dealer 508 - Jenkins Garage, Cootamundra NSW.

Chassis number ALJ14917B aligns with the build date and JL238857 is the original engine number.

The differential is the std 3.08:1 ratio fitted to GTR.

The missing Body number should be in the high 14***B to low 15***B number range.

 

 

Sounds like the paint colour will be Lime Green Metallic or Dublin Green Metallic.

Thanks heaps S pack, I sent you an email so just disregard it.
Your a champ I think I’m going to go ahead with this one the only real issue with it is a badly rusted Apillar on the passenger side. I’ve had a look on rare spare and kings wood country and cannot find the replacement panel.
Does anyone know if they make aftermarket A pillar panels and where I should be looking?
Thanks and regards
