New to this forum and have a question about the XW Falcon

[Dutch-Twister]

Can someone make an estimate what the value would be once restored ?
Keep in mind it probably was an 6-cil car.

Probably not what you want to hear but In Australia say $20-30K if its restored properly to the original plate, (what ever that is). Mind you the resto would probably cost north of $70K.

The problem is it looks like all forms of ID have been ground off the chassis so that would raise alarm bells, especially being out of the country so if it was bought back to Australia the Roads authority would want to do forensics on it (xray for image) and issue Police numbers assuming they can verify its not stolen etc.

I paid $40K for mine. But that is a fully restored car with some mechanical gremlins to sort out. Like 4Vman said, you've got an issue there with the car's numbers - I'm tipping the licensing authority in Netherlands would be asking some hard questions about the car's provenance due to the lack of a VIN, not to mention the fact that the compliance plate has clearly been tampered with. Personally, I'd leave this one alone. There's too many question marks.

I thought the vin-code is on the dataplate: JH23KM 42713 Right ?

The seller send me this sheet as a owners certificate, but it look more like a yearly registration

GV is the code for 221 6 cyl column shift manual from memory.

That VIN code must also be stamped on the radiator support panel on the passenger side, roughly under the rubber stopper that supports the bonnet when it is closed. The code stamped on the shock tower is the engine reference.

I think the Vin code they've listed is the number stamped on the shock tower, you can see the rusted spot in the pics, that's where you'd find that GV32111 number, that number is the original engine number not the chassis number which is the JH number on the Rad support panel..

Trouble is that the JH body prefix and serial/VIN is not referenced anywhere on that document he's been supplied.

Yep.

The Compliance plate means nothing as it can be unriveted.

The Rad support must be missing the VIN.

Car has lots of identity issues.

Here's the number on the radiator support and the dataplate together.
What can you tell me about it. I doen't seem to match
