Build number to follow

I've done a bit of reading up and it may be that you don't have a build number at all. In which case just the month/year on the build plate will do

Does cv8 have a build no and if so where do I find it,or is it part of the chassis no

Take a look at the build plate under the bonnet. This should state the factory build date and probably chassis number, and perhaps also the colour. If you have a build number then it will be on that plate. The pattern seems to be that HSV cars have build numbers, where as Holden's don't.

There's a number after the Model-326
Is that the build number or do all CV8's have that same number on the build plate?
Could other owners have a look?

Added you on with the build date. I think from what I'm reading that there is no build number on CV8s. Thanks for the e-mail - will respond with more info.

Heres mine

2004 CV8
Impulse blue? Paint - 987k
built February 2004

Is that everything you need?

Thanks for the info - list updated.

Yours has raised an interesting issue though, in that as there are no build numbers on these CV8's, we have no way of uniquely identifying each CV8 on the list. There is another car on the list with the same colour and build date as yours formerly owned by Hammo19. Perhaps this is a different car, or maybe it's the same car and we've recorded it twice.... Will have to think about this one.

Could other CV8 owners look at their Manufacturers Plate and see if the number after Model VZ8VX37- is 326 or something else.
Also, does anyone know what the code letters and numbers after Model mean?

Having looked through the old build register, Richie Slow posted the below back when he had a CV8:

richie slow said:

AMVS, is that the last four digits of your chassis number? All of the CV8s have the "Build 326" on the plate.

I've done a bit of digging around and found this link which explains what some of the information on a build plate means. I have no idea if it is correct:



I think Phill has the best idea in that we could use the last 3 digits of the chassis/body number to along with the build date to uniquely identify each car.

Build no 113 Bathurst S no. 5 In Evoke

Thanks for this. It looks like I had your car listed twice, once under build 113 and then again under it's Bathurst S build number. Nice to be able to tie the two together.

I've got Tucker from VXRO down as being the owner. Do you know if Tucker was a former owner, or is that your VXRO username?

Thanks
