Re: GMH Body Id Plate, Chassis & engine No ..... Please post.

That's me making my own copy, I might just borrow Sunny Tim's version when it surfaces and adjust as necessary. The problem with too many versions is everybody collects different cars and then some fall through the cracks, I found this when sharing HQ-Z info with another researcher. In the end we wo...

Re: FB Production numbers/Paint codes

I have some of the month by month production and mechanical pack figures but they are related to body style rather than colours, when I get the time to compile the data in an easy to understand format I will post the results on the forum. The data is incomplete but I have the final figures so I may ...

Re: IDing production date?

Based on the Engine No. mid to late October 1960 for the engine and then the car would have been assembled a month or so after that.

Re: IDing production date?

Jason could you post the chassis and engine no. I have some monthly production figures for FB and might be able to give a rough estimate.

Re: EK Special Colour Help

It may be as simple as the body plate has been swapped. What is the interior currently? This is 965 as per the plate http://gallery.oldholden.com/Mr_Jones/FB+and+EK+Trim+Codes+and+Pics/EK/965+Rose+Coral+and+Barossa+Maroon/ For a red car the interior should be 964 http://gallery.oldholden.com/Mr_Jone...

Re: 1974 HQ Belmont Panelvan.

thanks for that, you have 1 too many numbers in the Production Serial Number is it L270500Q or L270050 chassis should be around EHQ460xxQ and the original engine no QL500xxx

I have a 1 tonner recorded that went down the line 15 after yours, if your PSN is L270500

Re: 1974 HQ Belmont Panelvan.

Awesome job, makes life so much easier to start with a rust free car.

Bet the old man is stoked and probably wishing he had done it :wink:

Autumn Gold is a great colour

What's the Vin no. ? Is it Adel assembled or Melb?
