Engine is a 308 from VB-VK. Cast date/colour will tell you what model.

Pretty sure that's the chassis number, not the VIN.

ok,im trying to organise a permit to drive the vehicle and they are the numbers i have been given as it hasnt been regoed for 3 years

Probably the chassis number as said above.

I have a 88 Calais and when I went to register it for the first time they basiclly told me that my car doesnt exist.

The guy on the phone ended up working out that it was a chassis number and not a VIN, Holden swapped from chassis number to VIN some time in 88 I guess. No idea why a guy at the rego office would run around in circles for half a hour when hes the one that is paid to know what hes doing.
