Ke20nut Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) this may sound stupid, but how is it possible to tell if your vehicle is a ke11. Is it actually stamped on the body number. Cos my car i have purchased has ke10 - B . Does the dash B mean its a ke11 , or is it a ke10 . I own another two ke10s and both of them just have ke10 on the body number. I'm wonder what the dash B stands for on the one i just purchased . Even the original owners manual has it listed as a ke10. i have been told by some that its a ke11 by the grill and tail lights but I'm not so sure now .

Felix Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 From what I've seen: Ke10-b's were the first of the ke1x series to have local content. They are all AMI badged, and don't have the York Motors plate like the earlier imported cars did. As you stated they are basically exactly the same as a ke11, with a 3k, the later dash, front bumper, guards, front indicators/parkers, tail lights, grill, etc. Has yours got a Borg Warner diff in it? Most of the ke10-b's I've seen over the years do. If it was a ke11 it would have ke11 at the start of the chassis number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammo[RL] Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I thought that a ke10-b was just an update before the 11 came in. My ke10-b has the later dash/tail llights, AMI badge, but jap diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattress Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 That means it's a KE10-B. My KE10-B has later dash and tail lights with ami badge and aussie diff. I also had a wreck here that was a KE10 with early lights and dash with an aussie diff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phife Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I also have a KE10-B From what i can tell, it is essentially a KE11 body with KE10 engine (K instead of 3K) Mine also has a jap diff, apparently AMI did some of part substitutions which is also evident on my AMI '69 RT40 Corona diff.

silverra23 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 KE10B had the flow through ventilation too - plastic vents on the C pillar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
