Got a question that I can find an answer to anywhere!
In regards to the HQ Monaro Coupe (GTS or other) were the bodies ever made in one City and manufactured in another?
Example;
The Body Number could be CHQxxxxxB meaning that the Monaro Body was made in Brisbane because of the B on the end. But the serial and Model on the Tags are saying that the Monaro is made in Sydney -
Model 82xxxx-S Serial 8Q37TDH82xxxxQ
Would the Monaro be legitimist or do the Tag numbers not matching the Car Body Number, because they state Sydney?
Any help, greatly appreciated.
Chris

Firstly yes Holden bodies were made in some plants and cars assembled in others but the chassis number always belonged to the assembly plant from what I have seen. The only HQ-HZ I know of where you get mismatching tags is HJ-HZ van and tonner bodies wher |

No. Chassis number belongs to assembly plant. The Body number is the bit that can differ when a body is made in one plant and car assembled in another. As the PSN matches on both the BODY and VIN plates the coupe that those tags originated on was built in |

The Engine is also definitely HQ, but possible out of a Sedan.

Did you get a search done for the engine number to see what chassis it was in? If the engine is original for the Sydney plates then that might give you the original Sydney chassis number? However if that chassis originally belongs to that body (which your |

Yer, youre right!
It would appear to be a re-shelled GTS.
The donor shell looks to be another GTS, either a 308 Model or more probable a GTS 350 from the look of some of the interior features. The donor shell and plates both come from a 74 HQ Monaro; th

Hi Garry.
The chassis number should read AHQ11261B (not AHQ112618). The last character should be a letter which identifies the assembly plant, in this case Brisbane. Also an AHQ was built in 1971.
Engine etc. cannot be identified by these numbers a |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Chassis will actually be AHQ11261S if it belongs to the body. This is about right, the number on the firewall really means nothing but with AHQ Pagewood vehicles its normally close to the chassis which yours is. If the chassis does end in B it isnt origin |

That is the VIN number not the chassis number. It is off a Pagewood Sydney built HQ 6cyl Belmont sedan.

Gary, the number stamped intot he firewsall tells you nothing about the car, what you need is the numbers on the tags.

All you can tell from the numbers is the car is an automatic sedanbuilt in Brisbane. Reclining buckets in sedan and Moanro are the same.

Hi Garry,
Im sure this firewall number issue has been discussed here before as I can remember learning something new from it. The correct name for the number 11287S is the Vehicle Serial Number and on Sydney built cars it tells you quite a bit about th

Mike, this is not a firwall number, this is the number of the body id plate and incorperates model number and body number. The body number in HK has nothing to do with the PSN as in later vehicles.
