Thanks Warren, so wouldnt the rego give it a bit of credence? The old disc is still on the windscreen from 1988 and I have the renewal form from then that shows the colour and trim (trim appears to be original albeit in poor condition)and given that back

All the rego history will tell you is the chassis number and engne number both of which you have already. The other numbers will remain a mystery, unless you can find who took them.

Rego only tells you exterior colour not interior colour, and once again it has to be the original rego as a colour change in the 70s was a full on job, very IN to have a bare metal respray in those days, then change the colour on the rego papers and you

another question for the experts, on the firewall is stamped HK 20787 A. I assume this means it is an Adelaide car can anything else be gleaned from this??

It's a HK. That's all apart from built in Elizabeth as you already stated. If you know the build date of other Elizabeth HK's around the same number you can also estimate the build date.

Thanks Byron any ideas how I find the build date of other HK's? Can I also assume (I know that is dangerous) that as the speedo cable entry in the firewall is in the centre, that is is more than likely an original V8? Sorry to ask so many questions but I

I think your assumption is correct. All V8 HK had the speedo cable hole in the centre. BUT you could order a Saginaw behind a 6cyl, although this is rare. A 10-bolt hump also means V8 mostly, but you could also order a 10 bolt behind a 6cyl I think - Warr |

10 bolt only available on 6 cylinder from HQ on, not HK to HG.

1. Not on the car, but on individual components, either stamped or painted. Example, steering box, top left corner viewed from the front. Steering column.
2. Neither. Only from 1/70 did the HT gain a 3rd tag (ADR tag) and then the chassis number appears |

Impossible to get HT interior in HK, as back seat is different, plus the pading on front seat is also different.
