Hq sandman sold

[ozbox]

Price is always dictated by demand v supply. Sandmans are just not demanded as much as say monaros and GTs (present forum community excluded of course).

I can't see a Sandman getting those sort of dollars regardless of the quality of the resto or the dollars spent on NOS parts etc.

I had huge trouble getting more than 30k insurance for our van. It cost a bit more than that to restore and I didn't use a single NOS part.

Build it for the love not the dollars.

ian,i still own a hq gts350 coupe which is insured for 85k grandpa car and an hq ls350 coupe..insured for less than i sold the sandman and its all there just needs a body/trim resto..trust me... the market on monaros isnt as good as you may think it is at the moment.both my coupes are for sale and not moving.

30k on insurance on a 253 hz sandman is around the money regardless of what you spent..hz 253 sandman vans are very common.
nos and restoration costs have little to do with the values being spoken of here..its the rarity..
as for building for love and not the dollars...love is always blind..:errf:
