Restoration back to standard original Paul?
Yeh Stuart
After a lot of hard thinking that's the plan
Back to factory paint and trim combination
And hopefully one day a period correct CF 173s sitting back under the bonnet
Those younger years of wack'n an 8 in it with a stalled up Powerglide or turn'n it into a XU1 have passed, as I've got older and wiser(a little wiser) i've become a bit more nostalgic, too many have been lost to V8 conversions, custom builds etc

A very rare colour for this car and a very nice one at that too - this was the colour of mine.
It was a colour that tended to be used on the HQs, Broughams et al. Mine also was an Adelaide made LC GTR.
It is only the 3rd time that I am aware of this colour for a LC GTR.
All the best with the resto.

yeh i was starting t think that not many 71 LC GTR's were made in this colour
as I've never seen one on the road before / in person & can't find bugga all on the net ( they must be under lock and key plus camera shy)
i have only come across one so far on the web , a early 1971 GTR with the 161s motor ( Adelaide built) great pics of it too and as you said about the colour " it is very nice indeed "
be nice to know some numbers on how many painted in this colour according to
Brisbane built cars early 71 (161s engines)
Brisbane built cars late 71 (173s engines)
Adelaide built cars early 71 (161s engines)
Adelaide built cars late 71 (173s engines)
dascind it's great to know of another Adelaide built 71 Dutchess Gold Metallic LC GTR
was your's the earlier model with the 161s or the later with 173s

Another 1971 Dutchess Gold Metallic LC GTR
this is the one i found on the web
was up for auction at Shannons back in 2008
it is the early model with the 161s with black trim 1829-40v
on the web site there is a pic of the Body ID Tag con firming all details ie; Paint etc
wasn't sure if to post it up or not
link below to Shannons
http://Holden LC Tor...t 21 - Shannons
now i've got an idea of what mine will look like ( that's after a lot of of work though & minus the XU1 wing/bobtail/boot spoiler )

Cheers Dave

My research indicates the 173S first came out on 5 July 71.
Again as I have written about elsewhere, a rather rare engine size, only lasting till Dec of that year. Most owners had replaced them with the larger 202 which came out in the HQ at the same time in 71. (after all how many 173s do you see? - very very few!)

Do you mean the 1st GTR with a 173s was completed on the 5th of July 1971? If so that probably figures the build of the car was commenced on the 1st of July with the 3rd and 4th days being the weekend and the 5th being a Monday.

Hi
There were 3 CFs completed in Adelaide on the 2nd July and dozens completed in Brisbane on the 1st and 2nd of July. There was also a CF completed in Brisbane on 30th June.

These new dates are interesting.. May explain why my previous LC GTR 161S (Adelaide built) made at the end of June, had an Aussie 4 Speed box as opposed to the Opal.
