VIN breakdown

Post by Charlescrown »

Hopeing someone may enlighten me on my VR's VIN. The car history is it first started life as a NSW highway patrol 5L with SS interior. The VIN starts with 6H8VRK19UPL. Supercheap lists it as a SS Executive. I found some info on Just Commodores with that number listed as either a V8 sedan or V8 SS. Is there anyway of determining just what it is?

I have sent an email to Holden hoping they will get back to me.
kur4o thanks this is the full VIN 6H8VRK19UPL656553.
It's got IRS, ABS and FE1 suspension. Also the little things they did for the Police model like removed the gate lock on the selector and the small light for the speedo so you can drive with the lights off (why I don't know) and the 2km/h speedo increments.
Really appreciate the help.

Can you check the number for typo. It is listed as invalid. it does have some digit that verifies integrity.

I checked and that is the VIN. I had a look in the original owners handbook and it also confirmed that VIN.
