Righto here we go, I was looking at a HJ Monaro to buy the other day. The VIN reads: 869QRFLl337952J. Which to me says Monaro. Upon close inspection of the Chassis rail the chassis number was BHZ 12094-A. On the compliance plate the number reads BHJ 50814-A. I am a bit confused as to what to do. I do not want to buy a re birth or rebirth it myself as I beleive there are enough dodgy ones out there already. The other numbers are: Body: 184036-A Trim: 1894-60V Paint: 567-15940 Eng: L32 Gear box: M40 Diff: GU7 Brakes: JL2 Any thoughts. I just think it's all a bit too fishy and that it may be a HZ Premier with GTS plates put on it. Cheers Edited by user Thursday, 2 October 2008 6:20:30 AM(UTC)

Its a 4 door HJ GTS but the rails have been changed - probably the originals were crashed or cracked, or possibly someone wanted to make it handle better as the HZ rails on it have RTS. The original rails would have had the number off the ADR plate you qu |

My bad. The JL2 is off the letter the guy received from GMH verifying all the details. Is it still worthwhile buying the car as a monaro or do you think it just end up a really well done mock up? It also doesnt have the original pop rivets in the ID plate Edited by user Thursday, 2 October 2008 6:26:46 AM(UTC)

It could well be just a HZ body with HJ GTS ID. HZ body is easy to tell. HJ has bulkhead connector in wiring harness and foot dipper switch.

Thanks for the responses. I found the dipper switch on the floor and confirmed it was in a bingle in 1998 and had the chassis rails replaced. I bought it and is now filling the void in the shed.
Cheers
