if it got removed, you should have 2 rivet holes somewhere on the firewall or on the guards

Hey Smitty so what does a 134 pack mean please the story was the HDT tag got stolen dont know how true that is
Thanks

history lesson...
when Commodore production started, instead of using the system to build Holdens (and Torries etc)
which was ...add this to this to this to this... etc
GMH decided to build Commies as packs. So a 134 pack on a VK is (will simply this)
a level 1 vehicle (SL base ) on a 8VK19 shell (6 window variant)
with level 3 engine (308) and 4 speed trans = 134
so yes there is a 133 pack...as there is also a 234 pack based on the VK Berlina (level 2 8VL19 shell)

this is a continuation of what started with VB... I had a 308 pack at GMH
level 3 vehicle... SL/E 8VX 69 shell (69 = 4 window shell)
8 = 308 engine with a manual trans (there was a 310 pack with 308 auto in it)

Each of those packs also had a SET list of items... eg. 1 radio spkr or 2
with LH exterior mirror or without, with cloth trim or without etc, PB radio or PB radio with tape player
so
the limited choices you had was colour, with air or not (air was standard on ALL SL/E or Calais packs)
etc... (could write a book on this)

The HDT tag was stolen... ? by itself it is worthless as it links to the other body tags (which you have).
you can always ring HDT and quote the VIN number the L173767 and see what they say (or find someone with a copy of the 'Black book')

Ah yes, 134 pack. I had a 336 pack VC and my brother had a 134 pack VK, neither of which had an HDT tag.
In fact, I think my brother still has the 5lt engine, M21 and intake out of his 134, my rebuilt 5lt out of the 336 found its way into the engine bay of the 134.

ps... just to continue

GMH was going to do a police pack on VH and VK as ...a 134 pack + FE2 + G80 (with JM8) + C95+V5H + VO1+ V85+ UO5 + U11 +D06 + A90
but
BT1 is simpler :)

simple.... all engines by GMH start with L (like trans start with M)
so you have L14 = 202 LD1 = 2850 and of course L31 = 308
(note 253 have been BOTH L32 and L36... but that is another story about GMH manufactured 'XT' coded engine families, for another time :p)
so
when GMH de-stroked the L31 308 to 304(for racing purposes to help one PBrock),
it needed a new production code so it got... LV2 (and no, I have NO idea what LV1 was :rolleyes:)

vt ss & lc gtr
manual 304 asterioid silver was not common from memory.

Could have just had hdt improved tag which was easy if owner took it to brock shop after buying it..seen a few but doesnt mean brock.

What other parts on the car interior? engine mods etc?
