It is missing digits from the VIN and the paint code should be 11905.
You cannot tell from numbers what it was engine and box, only that it was a V8. Having the Saginaw hump means 253 or 308, it looks to be not all that early in HT so it could be 253 or 308 manual (early on in HT all manual V8's were 253 apart from one or two *(basiclaly bugger all) 307 manual).
If it has the 10-bolt hump it'll be a 308. If it doesn't it was a 253.
All assuming it is the original shell for the tags. |

1194 is Verdoro Green Metallic and 18X is Sandlewood & Black vinyl.
You cannot tell that the chassis and VIN align without having heaps of cars recorded to then state that they appear to align. If you get the VIN I can get it checked for you to make sure that they should belong together.
I'll also need the body number off the plate with teh TRIm and PAIBT lines on it to check if it should belong with the others. |

I'll see what I can find out. The 5 on the end of the chassis number is an S. |

Answer is all plates and chassis number pretty much align OK. Car is way to late to be a 307, so it is either a 253 or 308 with M21 if it has the shifter clearance pressing in the tunnel. The rear floor and fuel tank hump will give it up as to whether it is a 253 or a 308. |
