    Default Need help verifiying make and model of my VK commodore

    The VIN number is AVK001253A.

    I bought this car a while back and i have been wondering exactly what it is, as it looks as though it has been modified.

    A hasty response will be greatly appreciated.

    The number you have quoted is the Body number: It's the 1,253'd body built at Adelaide

    The AVK = first emmission approval for the VK.

    A car with BVK would be an update on the emmission approval.

    Hmm ok thanks. Basically what i'm trying to figure out is if this is one of the Brock Models, i've been told it could be worth money but i'm having trouble figuring out exactly what it is.

    Is there anything you could do to help clarify?

    I can upload photo's if needed

    You need the VIN number mate. Long skinny tag.

    That's what vic roads has registered as the vehicles VIN number so i'm not sure exactly where to find the number you are speaking of. Could you tell me how to find it?

    If it was a special build by Brock or HDT it will have tags in the engine bay.

    The VIN should be on the front panel near the radiator I think.

    The trim and glovebox would also be another indication.

    The above is the plate you are looking for

    The HDT plates aren't there but is it possible they could have been removed?

    Also is this the number you are looking for? There is a "General Motors Holden Limited" plate with the following under it: 8K19LD L117612K

    If plates are removed there should be rivet holes or patched places on the firewall.

    Could it be a mockup? Post some pics of the car and see what people can tell you.
