    Yes that is what I meant, Acacia Ridge body plant was the only plant during HQ production that stamped the special vehicle package code on the BODY plate. Other body plants didn't do this. Doesn't mean that an Elizabeth built hQ 4 door GTS isn't a GTS because it doesn't have XV4 or XW8 on the BODY plate, or a Pagewood built HQ Sandman isn't a Sandman as it doesn't have XX7 on the BODY plate.

    Got to luv the HQ Sandman. Great score AlienDNA. I kept the 253 but an injected 5.0 makes plenty of sense . .

    The t-shirt tells you what I was thinking in 1974!

    And as a very cool bonus, the seller threw in a set of 15 x 7 Pontiac rims....2 of the 4 tyres need replacing.....but hey, who cares, they were free!!!
