What year model is it and tell me what is on the (complience / date of manufacture plate) just as a note it should have 78 in the serial prefix code either CK78 or CG78.

Thats a GT, September 69 from those numbers however the 12538 should be 12938. Being a 69 it has a date of manufacture plate on it not a comp plate it should be pop rivited to the inner guard the CK78JC number should be also stamped on the rad support panel (sometimes covered by the grill righthand side as your looking at it) the CN number is stamped around the strut tower and should be the same as the engine number. Give me the number and the letter at the end and I'll confirm it's a GT block. The 69's are crossover car they have the bits from the 67/68 and bits from the 70/71 a hassel to restore to original if you don't know what should be on or not. Where abouts are you from?

cool the comp plates a bit dirty so i probly wrote it down wrong
.i live at blacktown but the cars not here its at my buds house
i just gave him a call and he said the number under the exhaust on the block is N68IF6015DA

the strut num is CN7992B

he couldnt see the manufature plate il check tommorrow
does that mean its not a gt motor or its not the motor that come with the car or is my mate looking at the rong serial.yea the interior is different the gt dash is different to the ones on ebay u usually see

cheers mate Roy Rogers sounds like a famous singers name or somthing

With that CN number it confirms it was built at Homebush, I think he's looking at the wrong engine number. Give me a call on 0419 609 454 And I can tell you a bit more about the car and maybe you will be interested in joining our club. (if you can't get me on the phone just leave a message)
Roy Rogers its just something

i found the cn7992b number on the engine as onthe strut and the serial
near the grill matches the prefix num i cant find any other plate on it .
so it seems to all match up. i tried calling didnt leave amessage id like join the club the gt needs a bit of rust tacken out but ive got a 2door mk11 69 cortina as well to drive around while i fix my gt
