Default Tr

I believe the engine prefix 'TR' would be for a Canadian built engine . From memory many CMPs have the 'R' series engines . My C8 has a TR prefix engine in it , so does this Australian coupe ute

Chassis number: 3200? ( taken from compliance plate not chassis rail)
Body number: F085
Colour: DLX KHAKI
Batch number/date: FO
Chassis is there, missing front right spring perch (rear), I beam Axel, hubs, wheels.
Drive train is there including rear diff with six bolt pattern hubs, tailgate is there and in good order. I have a running 216 to drop right in.
Great to know how few were manufactured, I wonder how many survivors there are?

This might help https://hotrod.gregwapling.com/chev-...dian-chev.html
