Thanks Rusty, Egyptian Tan with Snowcrest white. Thanks for the chassis number as well.

Does the EK have the original engine or do you know the number?

Thanks so much,

Steve

Steve it came with an engine seperate from the car , so not sure if it is the original , I would say not , as it is a auto body and has a manual box in it , but can check the numbers for you ?

Hi Steve,

can you add the following plate details to your list. I couldn't find my FB on the list. I've done some searching and have now found the original engine number and another previous owner too :thumbsup: So far its a Melbourne built car thats been registered in NSW, Qld, and Vic! I wonder where else??
FB225 13046M
633-815
585-9562
585-9889
585-9562
FB29698M
Eng N0 B96098
Grecian White/Apache Red
Mephisto & Chianti Red/Horizontal Fleck (Plain red bolsters)

On the flip side do you or Matt have any previous owner history on the EK ute I bought last year?? All I have managed to trace is a photo showing it registered on NSW Historic plates some time back. Its still listed as being owned by Matt.

Besides the rust holes in the cabin floor and passenger sill she'e in pretty good shape
i aquired it from a bloke in launching place who towed it from shepparton where its been sitting for 20 years, thats the only history i could get.
any idea what top = 333 ? couldn't find any reference to it in the register

Thanks for that, i does look like someone was testing the No. 3 stamp to see if it works (or half of "666" spawn of satan)
but if anyone know what the 333 reference is i would apprecieate.
