It is assembled at Mosman Park Perth. It will have an Elizabeth (Adelaide) chassis number and body tag, just a Mosman Park VIN tag. The P means it was assembled at Perth. I find it hard to believe that it was originally a 307 though as I was under the impression Mosman Park never assembled V8 HK's. If it was the engine number will be something like 30790xxx. |

Mosman Park were assigned HK V8 engine numbers from 90000. If there were any produced there wouldn't be many. Wouldn't be surprised that if this one was real it'd be 30790000 or 30790001. |

Chevrolet engine numbers were allocated to each pant. Brisbane 00001 to 09999, Sydney 10000 to 39999, Melbourne 40000 to 739999, Adelaide 74000 to 89999, Perth 90000 to 99999. So what he has is the first 307 allocated to the Perth plant. This is not a Monaro engine for two reasons. The first is it will have been fitted to a car in January being the first engine and the Monaro did not come out until July. The second is the Perth plant did not complete Monaro or Brougham vehicles. Edited by user Wednesday, 6 January 2016 6:48:00 AM(UTC)

I won't see it on Facebook! No chance. Never have and never will go near Facebook. As Warren says re a Perth Monaro. |

yes your right warren the car with 3079000 was not a Monaro, I just assumed it was as he had a pic of one with his message, thanks to everyone for your comments and help..
