just need some clarification on a hq gts on evilbay at the moment.. the part that has me confused is the seller says its a genuine car but the engine number is blank, and that this is correct... I think he is mistaken but can anyone clarify.. here is the statement if you dont want to go to the link.. VEHICLE DETAILS / BUILD INFORMATION BODY IDENTIFICATION PLATE: Model: HQ80469 HQ MONARO (See note below) Body No.1271-A The 1271st HQ Built at Adelaide (Elizabeth) Trim: 1854-30X Black (See note below) Paint:568-15345 Mustard (Yellow)

The ENG,TRANS & RRAXLE fields were only stamped if optional ones were fitted. Standard engine for a HQ GTS is a 253, so 253 cars werent stamped. |
