Vehicle Identification

When ordering parts it is essential that your car is identified exactly, by model year and serial number. Since many part changes were made during model years, the car number, engine number and body number provide the only positive identification. Quite often a car’s title will not show the correct model year. Before ordering parts, please use the space provided below to copy the applicable numbers from your car. Use of these numbers is the best way to ensure that you order and receive the correct parts. Wherever possible, we have listed part applications by car number (c). In some cases, we had to use the engine numbers (e) or body numbers (b). Commission numbers, as used from 1968, are of little significance and are not used for reference purposes. Where we use years, they are model years, not build dates. For the sake of simplicity, we have deleted all alpha-numeric prefixes from change points found in our application columns. While these letters are helpful in pinpointing certain production features, they do not affect the parts’ applications as listed. Example: Car number GHN5/ UB/234567 is shown as (c) 234567. For more information on these numbers and years, see the production data in the chart below.
