VB possible HDT??????

[yentzelburger]

Hi guys

Found this car at the scrap dealers and am wondering if anyone knows if it could be something special?

Three things make me wonder

1. Gaurd flares
2. "Marlboro HDT" sticker in the engine bay
3. Missing ID tags.

Not really sure where to find any other info, but am trying to locate the previous owner hopefully to shed some light on its history.

I understand that the HDTs where all VCs even the Prototype and 001. I think HDT produced 15 VBs for the around Australia rally but they would be easy to recognise. Most likely a mockup? I understand that when a car is scrapped the ID tags go to the Roads Authority. It is recorded so as it can't be rebirthed. The scrap dealer should have a record of the ID tags.

yeah this is most defnitly true, reference the HDT DVD and they were not even in specail colours

you would need to find a chassis number and then find someone with a bible or contact HDT to confirm that it is indeed a HDT build vehicle.

What that was/is, is a mock up.

As said above, only 2 VBs were done, the Atlantic Blue 000 VB SL and the two tone green 001. Both are still about.

As above - 2 VB's and both are positively accounted for. Virtually impossible for this car to be a HDT. There were heaps of mockups built in the late 80's and 90's of varying quality.
