Chassis - Body Number match up
Posted: Tue May 25, 2010 9:58 pm
Got to thinking about my car's original identity.
As most are aware it has had an EK subframe fitted, but I noticed that the ID Plate on the firewall has the number FB-225 6431-A.
I know that the FB-225 is a model designation (FB Special sedan) but would the rest of the number denote or have any relationship with the chassis number on the subframe? and does the A denote that this body was created in Adelaide?
Does it also give any indication of build date or even if it was early or late production?
It's amazing, I have been around these cars for years, and have never paid much attention to these details, but now I don't think I could ever have enough.
