1991 VP Commodore Executive V8 A4
G'day all.. I've seen this one around but haven't been able to get an answer:

I am trying to understand what my vehicle's VIN means:

6H8VPK19UNL530203 ... I've seen a few posts that state that a VP V8 sedan should be "UML" but mine's UNL...

She's one of the first VPs built: September '91.

She's an Executive and has a V8 motor, 3.45 LSD, IRS, the fancy speedo and tacho, a 63L fuel tank (my understanding is that V8s are meant to have 80L tanks), and power front windows...

I bought her last year, haven't modded her in any way. She has VY SS rims added by the previous owner. Runs like a dream and is grippy as.

Any ideas regarding what she might have been? I thought IRS and LSDs weren't options on executives until after '92.. and she's quite well equipped for an Exec

She seems to have some form of headers (as opposed to a cast iron manifold), and an OTR 20140815_165818.jpg20140820_125446.jpg20140820_125459.jpgVP.jpg20140819_121654.jpg20140820_125435.jpg

Other things I've noticed:

The previous owner removed all markings from the sides (ie 5.0L V8) and rear..

Her Compliance plate is as follows:

Model: VP8VK19-124
Body: L530203
Trim: 231
BLD: Sep 91
ENG: LB9
TRANS: MD8
AXL: GU4
AC: C60

Mine originally had same headers too. Cast iron manifolds now. No more leaks.
