Did you find the build numbers for the LC 173S GTRs?

[Bazza]

Hi

I counted the late CF GTRs a number of years ago at around 660. Lots of missing engine numbers during the transition period.

Cheers Bazza

Hi, I looked at a lc gtr for sale tonight .Been in a shed for decades .it’s yellow , looks like it has all the right bits and pieces. Guards have never been off the car , firewall bracket and all the rest. Can anyone confirm these numbers match please ? Thanks
Lc 82911
2982-A
1814-40v
568-12572

82811cl171098
3/71. Lc25776a

Brett All information with tags and chassis number MATCH

.....the Yellow Dolly GTR  3/71 was sold through United Motors Adelaide . Cheers

Try again.

82911CL171098 belongs to an Adelaide build GTR completed on 08/03/1971 and sold during 3/71 by dealer 151  United Motors Limited, Adelaide S.A.

The body number and chassis number align for the build period. The original engine number recorded is S0325?0. ( The number represented by ? is partly missing in the records but looks like could be a 2).

Colour is Yellow Dolly with Black interior vinyl trim

Nah I reckon 161s motor.

Awesome , thanks for the info , it has a 202 in it at the moment . Was it built late enough to be one of the 173 4 speed ones ?

Not a 173S. Eng #S32520 is a 2600S (161S)

[Bazza]

so assume a third to half of those CF LC GTR's ( about  660 ) would have been Adelaide built? 

any exact numbers on Adelaide built CF LC GTR's , does this info exist? is it possible to find out

 

Hi 2FLY.

 

I calculate that 345 to 350 CF GTRs were built in Adelaide. Not all cars have an engine number recorded during the transition period so it can't be established which engine was fitted. The Sydney and Melbourne plants had ceased production of LC GTRs by the time the CF came along.

Hi

 

The Body Number has too many digits but the Chassis Number suggests that it was completed in Brisbane around 12th August 1971. The body colour is The Lone O'Ranger. The car cannot be identified without the VIN.

 

Cheers

Thanks Bazza,

 

Why would it be plated 5/70. but the serial number is saying 4/70.

Any other info you have on my car would be nice to know.

 

Cheers

 

Nothing unusual there. This happened often towards the end of the month. There are also examples that go the other way - plated month earlier than completion date month.

 

Cheers

Is there anyway i can find out the unknown vin numbers?

I imagine it goes something like 82911CH1#### ?

 

If you have the original engine number (and it appears on the VIN disc) the VIN can sometimes be established. If not, it is virtually impossible to establish the identity of Brisbane built cars. The selling dealer's name can often provide a clue.
