Tech resources are your friend
J=Australia
G=Geelong/Broadmeadows
34=Fairmont (I THINK - not 100% sure on that)
GT= some month in 85(once again - I think) Could well be wrong as I think the letter codes are recycled)
& the rest is the serial number
Dare say its an xf fairmont? Could be older model
To be 100% sure you're best off to consult Ford spares they should be able to ID it positively for ya. Or send a letter off to FoA(via the discovery centre) & see what they have to say

Its an August '67 Fairmont sedan, so its an XR.
XT wasnt released till April '68, but production started in Feb.
Either way its an XR Fairmont.

Where there is a will there is a way. Sandblasting will remove some surface rust + paint and show you what is underneath.

What are your plans.
