Hi guys my friend has just bought an LC torana with only the firewall tag attached.
The chassis number on the tag matches with the inner guard stamping.
This number is ALC39145B.
Please let me know what details of the car may be available from microfiche etc.
The build date is 8/71 and the seller was suggesting that the car may be a GTR that had been modified/repaired etc over the years.
Any help will be appreciated.

There are tell tale signs on the body which will identify the car as a GTR.
Firewall triangular throttle bracket which are only on LC GTRs. Also stainless trim tops holes on inside of doors and rear 1/4s
And also holes for the rear 1/4 GTR badges
Post some photos and I'm sure someone will be able to point these out for you

Had a look at the
car this morning.
It had the holes for the GTR badge on the boot lid which looked promising but there were no holes on the quarter panels and no triangular b inbracket on the firewall so it must be just an Sor SL with a GTR bootlid.
Thanks for your help.
