call up holden and someone should be able to help you out. they'll be able to tell you if your vin number is for a genuine ss or not. what makes you think its a mock up?

i guess you mean HJL not HLL? Vin Numbers

sounds like a mockup. but have you got a photo of the car and how much did you pay? if you got it cheap then i wouldn't say 'ripped off' ss' are only execs anyway

[stevesydney]

no its definatly hll

[levymetal]

oh yeah my mistake the middle L just means it's a 1990 model. everything else i said still stands. from factory it was either a v6 exec or s

[stevesydney]

i paid 5 grand for it but it has a new paint job,custom black with pearl n gold flakes,5 litre with all the ss trimmings

just got my rego papers from motor transport today,rego details,year of manufactor 1990,make holden,model commodore,badge ss,cyl/rotors,8,so it is a genuine vn ss,thanks for all your replys

take note of the bolded h: 6h8vnk19hll413607. h means v6. u means v8. unless holden made a mistake out of the factory, it is not a genuine ss. of course the rego papers are going to say it's a v8 because when you change the motor you get the rego updated. the badge is irrelevant because the vin number doesn't differentiate between SS and exec v8 so it can be classified as either.
