I am about to register my HT Holden. The car has not been on the road for more than 25 years.

I was making inquires at Vic Roads on how to go about registration and what I needed to bring.
One of the requirements was that the ID Tags matched the Fire wall number or VIN as they called it.
I explained that these numbers did not match until HG 1970.

My Q is what does the body number mean in the ID tag and how can I prove to them the tags have been removed.

Does someone have some reference I can show Vic Roads that my car is they way it should be.

Again a registry authority that has no idea what the hell they are talking about. You are correct that there is no match between the tags until 1/1/70 (but HT). So if its a 1969 HT there are only two tags and they dont match the body, plus it doesnt matte

This is not new, and Byron it is not that they do not know what is going on it is that the value of these cars is so high they want to make sure that this car is NOT the stolen Moanro from winter sun.

I too am in the process of registering my HT GTS built july 69. The ID plates have never been remove. Please let me know how you go as im about a month away.

Also, ,my car didnt come out with rear seat belts (optional). How do i explain this when getting a roadworthy? Ill end up putting rear seat belts when i find a good set of black ones.

I always had my '57 Chev on Club rego and always wondered how I'd go registering it with no seatbelts. The offical line is it doesn't have to have them, but official stuff sometimes doesn't make it's way down to those issuing blue slips. At one stage I wa

Hi Guys.

In NSW, if the car was built before 1-Jan-65 and it is not modified, it won't need any seat belts.

Also in NSW, it won't need rear belts unless the ADR plate says it needs them.

Well the saga continues.

After about 50 phone calls all over the country including Holden themselves (no clue). I am starting to make progress.

When i got my HT gts rego and roadworthy done in vic last year, the r/w guy said if it had the mounting holes for the seat belts they had to be fitted.When at the rego ofice they said that because my monaro was not fitted with a compliance plate eg pre 19
