How can I find out the original colour and interior information
You can't other than by inspection of the body.
I was hoping I may be able to get in touch with holden or someone on here that may be able to look up the chassis number or build number
Forget it no such records keptOriginally Posted by gavwar73
Doesn't matter now..... It was whatever colour you choose to "restore" it to.
As HK said, look for old original paint in hard to get at places.
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
I'm 90% confident the original build records exist in a similar form to the A9X records as published in Eric Blair's Torana book. But if they do it'll be like shipping containers full of A3 size z-fold (tractor feed) paper and I seriously doubt anyone is going to go looking for original trim line info for anything short of GTS350's or L34's etc. Just to find the right pile of papers would probably take a day alone. Plus if they are pre-production records, for some assembly plants eg Pagewood they won't be sorted by any numbers on the car as Pagewood didn't allocate the PSN or chassis numbers until the very end of the assembly process.
What would be nice would be to find the original IBM360 digital files and somehow re-read them into a modern IBM machine. Then finding any car would be a piece of cake. But only a pipedream!
