Help with some ID

[wbute]

I am sure I have read somewhere that some Adelaide built commercials had body numbers that did not match the ID tags due to them having chassis built in Sydney and bodies built in Adelaide. Correct me if I am wrong?:errf:

Correct. Adel it wasnt until early HZ that the body number started matching the VIN. This goes for all models not just utes and vans. Sedans etc etc.

Thanks Jason, I was sure I had read it somewhere and was nearly going to suggest asking you;).
So all Holdens from Adelaide fall into this category? That should confuse peiople in 50 years time

Yes mate it confuses the heck out of people already.
I got told by a few people that the HX sandman van I just sold had mis matched plates. because it was HX and it was adel built the body number did not match the VIN. But this is perfectly normal for an adel built car upto early HZ. I think it was around 10/77 ish they started the matching number thing......

Brissy etc matched their bodys and VIN numbers back in HQ ish era. Adel where just a little behind.
