about a year ago, I purchased a Kingswood Sedan, as I thought! I bought for the reason of rally competitions down south. It has some old 350 chev and a 4 spped manual, the body is in excellent condition, was at the time..not anymore. But I change out the old motor for a 400 chev rebuild and a top loader gearbox with a 9 inch diff. I have raced it a few times last year and smashed her up on the last event. But my mate was over looking at the car and noticed a few things about the car, he tells me it is a genuine GTS/4 350 which I do not know what that means, but he said it is a monaro...the only monaro is a 2 door...never ever seen a 4 door monaro...is this true. I have the old papers for the car..but I just want to know if my mate is correct or not...can you let me know. thanks

Does it have tags? If the TRIM code ends in W,X,Y or Z then its a GTS sedan. If the VIN (long skinny) tag has a U, then its a genuine 350.

It means your friend is 100% correct.
80469 is Monaro V8 sedan.
8N69U is Kingswood Sedan with Chev 350.
L30 is engine code for Chev 350, trans should be a Muncie 4 speed.
Paint is Orchid Metallic.
Trim is Black Vinyl.

i dont realy need to sell her, its not like i need the money. one day i might rebuild her. if not it can sit in the back yard and rot for all i care. the 350 has been sitting in weather for the last 12 months or so. and i think the gearbox is in the shed

I will have a bit of a think, as I am doing some homework on the car at present. The motor that came with it is a 39700010 block and has a K on it. I think that means something, I will look it up. I can rebuild the motor again for next to nothing, if i
