Hey Glen. Nice looking car. Look forward to checking it out in person. Interesting that it is an early car with the FC stainless. Obviously done years after ownership. As for the club....the next run is on April 20th, to the Narellan Steam Association open day, followed by Grey Pride at Berrima on May 18th. There is a club meeting on beforehand om Tuesday, April 8th. Details of the club inc meeting place etc can be found here: http://fefcholden.org.au/nsw/content/view/26/36/Regards Alex |

It's usually stamped along the rounded edge where the top of the inner guard goes from horizontal to vertical. Generally it's above the battery box, but can be as far along as above the regulator. The numbers are only about 1/4" tall, and can be pretty hard to find. cheers RET |

Re AQ/AO etc:
Going by similar codes used on FJ ID plates, it probably relates to a code for a different supplier of the interior trim material.
cheers
RET
RET, I've been thinking about this (always a worry). If these are to do with interiors, it would seem more probable that the code might relate to the interior kit to be used so that someone knew exactly what to supply for which car? particularly if the shells were being sent interstate. Also, I assume that cars that went to the assembly only plants, ie Brisbane and Perth, went as painted and trimmed shells? If not, I wonder how were they allocated and how the assembly plants knew what paint and trim to stock unless they were told what was coming and how many. As this is an early Sydney car, in an unusual colour, if it is close to Geoff K's Standard car, this might support this proposition? Sorry again Fatso  John |

John, The only problem with that theory is that the existing 3-digit code preceding the AQ/AO entry already identifies both the colour(s) and the body-style. If you have a look at this page, you can see what I mean. I can't pretend to know the complete logistics of how the CKD vehicles were supplied to the assembly plants, but as I understand it, Sydney manufactured sedans were shipped to Brisbane and Adelaide manufactured to Mossman Park (Perth). Yet this code only appears on Sydney cars. (Obviously vans and wagons are a different story.) Don Loffler's books show Sydney made FJs have a very similar identifier on them which is known to relate to the trim supplier, hence the theory that Sydney made FEs continued to use this scheme. cheers RET |

Glen,
I've sent you the email that went around to our members, with the details. If you're coming from Wollongong you'd be best off meeting us there I would think.
If you've printed off the application form and want to bring it on the day, no worries. If you haven't got one we can make sure someone has one for you on the day.
cheers

I think Glen would have decided to sell his car for a good reason.
Hope the car finds a good home.
Cheers

hi 1958gm i have a genuine reason for the sale of this vehicle and it has to do with my business. i have found people on this site to be very helpfull and as for me using every one i dont understand where you are coming .from so unless you are paying my bills please keep your comments to yourself because what you have said is far from the truth. ps if the car sells and i wont be giving it away and my business picks i will be possibly be back in the market for another old holden and i will look on this site as 99.9% of the people have treated me with respect as i have done with cheers glen

Glenn You didn't need to post a response as your reasons for selling are yours and yours alone, but in saying that I do wish you the best with your business and hope things pick up and you are in a better position to get another car. Please don't feel that you are not welcome as this if for people with not only cars, but those with an interest in FE FC's. Kathi  F4+ =^^= |

Mmmmmm,,,,,,
Nice Car Glen,,,,,,
I have seen this car on E-Bay, and have been looking, ( and for a long time ) for a good standard FE/FC, so I can join this great motoring fraternity !!
Just wondering what other members think of the car, if they know anything of its previous history, as I think thats pretty important !!
I think its important to me anyway, that the car is pretty stock, matching no's etc??
I see it came down from Queensland, anyone know much of the previous owner ??
Do the other members think this is good value for this car ?? (14k at moment ??)
Look forward to your thoughts??
And good luck to u Glen, I hope you get what you want for it,,,,,
Thanks
Geoff
