No, the ultimate VB would be a 5L SL/E with a 4 speed.

[shiftySLE]

Definately a nice VB, I've had one and loved it, but the VH still take the cake with a few extras.

peanuts........

I do not own that white one but geeez I wish I did.

But I intend to sell one I do have.

11/78 sandlewood/buckskin base model with 'Auto' option package with 3.3, auto, dwell wiper control.

Before I ebay it wish to confirm I am reading VIN plates etc correctly.

AJF original vic rego still with original Vic Garden State’ plates.

Radiator support panel stamp AVB004331 S = Sydney Pagewood plant. No 4,3331 built?
I wonder how many built at Pagewood for non NSW markets?

VIN plate: 8K69LJH977338B =

8 = Holden manufactured (8)
Luxury: K - Commodore, SL, SL/e (K)
19 or 69 for Sedan / 35 for wagon (69)
5th character is the engine code (L)
6th character year of manufacture H -1978 / J – 1979 (J)
7th and 8th characters build plant (H9)
H1-H4 = Brisbane
H5-H9 = Sydney
J1-J9 = Melbourne
L1-L9 = Adelaide

The last is B as in the model code VB

So the VIN says 1979 yet Safety Compliance Plate says 11/78…why mismatch? Maybe right around Christmas shutdown?

The Safety Compliance Plate features a description of the vehicle along with the chassis number (e.g.: AVB004331S) which match radiator support panel stamp.

VIN body number (977338)and the Body and Option identification plate match.
Trans M40 = Trimatic.
Engine L4 = 3.3Hi Comp
Diff GU4 = standard banjo? Ratio?

The compliance plates location are not in order as per Holden books but I have photos of other 10/78 and 11/78 examples that match mine.

I don’t think mine have been tampered with. Your thoughts?

Do not have immediate access to car but I recall it had original but used spare.
As an aside was there 9/78 ones made?

[SL/ENUT]

Luxury: K - Commodore, SL, SL/e (K)

This is confusing, you mean that K is Commodore, SL and SL/E?

AFAIK VB had Commodore as K, in the luxury code. SL had L and the SL/E has X.

[STEALTHY™]

This is confusing, you mean that K is Commodore, SL and SL/E?

AFAIK VB had Commodore as K, in the luxury code. SL had L and the SL/E has X.

Thats correct. And its till the same (at least to VP) with those codes for Exec, Berlina and Calais.

AFAIK VB had Commodore as K, in the luxury code. SL had L and the SL/E has X.

VH is definately 8VX69
