It is a HT V8 Kingswood wagon. Will be probably a 253 auto, but may be early enough to be 307 auto. Most likely a column shift, but could be a T-bar.
1192 is Kashmir white.
14E is blue vinyl trim.
The VIN number is on the skinny plate up on the cowl, not far from the BODY plate where you got the other codes from.

Perhaps if the subframe has'nt been out of it you could look at the date code on it? Passenger side, front outrigger with the holes stamped out of it. Directly under the fan of the engine. I think (here goes, sigh!) that HT series ran with the 307 for roughly 3 months after the series introduction (July, August, September start of October 1969?).
After which the new Australian built 253/308's went in
Pretty rare car btw as most floors (rust free) out of wagons went into something recognised as more valuable but far more common now. (sorry)

My HT 307 GTS is a May 69 build (pre production car apparently) and as far as I can gather the 307's were used up to the beginning of November 69. Not too many around....believe me cos I have been looking !!! |
Do i own a Mustang....you have to be joking ??? |

Not quite right. 253's were available from the start of HT, but only as a manual (until 307 ran out). 308 was also available from the start of HT but only in Brougham. |
