went to see a ht monaro to buy the other day
the complinace plate had HT 46514M 6-70
But the firewall had stamped HT 48514M , they did not match
the car looks like the engine has never been out of the car
would this be a typo mistake when stamping the car ?
is this common , should these number match ....

Yes they should match, and it's unlikely for someone to get that many digits right when doing a body swap so unless you've read it wrong it must be a mistake. I'd check it again though as the die for the 8 stamp did wear out in Pagewood as i've seen heaps

I have a HQ Coupe that has a stamped firewall that doesn't match. I can assure you the body I.D tag has never been removed from the car yet the plate has 45 -S and the firewall has 29 - S.
What is the firewall stamp anyway? I was told it has no referenc

Ok Byron, what if I told you that my HQ coupe, on very thorough inspection doesnt have a chassis number on either chassis rail and definitely nothing near the steering box, nor does it have an ADR plate fitted. This one was intended for export.

Stat man - export HQ's had no chassis number on the chassis rail, nor an ADR plate. If it was a Chev engine you'll also find it had no Australian component in the engine number. But, the number on the firewall still means nothing. It's normally close to t
