Value of a Sandman without all 3 tags??

[ozbox]

tags meen shit rico...if its got a chassis number and an engine number it can be checked for legality..you DO NOT need tags at all to register a car..
unfortunately these days way too much importance is put on tags wether its a lowly base model or a gts..my sinbox has got 2 tags..1 says its a ute which matches the chassis number and the other says its a panelvan which matches the body..this is what the rego guy wanted me to do..maself i didnt care..:Tophat:

The only Sandman specific thing you can tell from the records is if a vehicle is definitely NOT a Sandman, and you tell this by it being either a 3spd (HQ-HZ), a Kingswood (HX, HZ only) or it being a 6cyl (HZ only). However you can pick all this off the ID plates.

Can I get some clarification please?

3 speed (HQ-HZ) unless auto which would make it 3 speed (am I being pedantic here)?
Kingswood (HX, HZ only) unless HJ Kingswood ute but not Kingswood van, because Kingswood van in HJ did not exist?

Is that correct?

Easy done Blocker:

3spd is M15 (column shift manual) so not a HQ-HZ Sandman. Sandman can be 3spd auto though, but I always refer to 3spd, 4spd or auto as the gearboxes in HQ-HZ.

HX and HZ Kingswood utes and vans are not Sandmans hence if 8WN70 or 80 shows up on the records it cannot be a Sandman.

Yes I've just bought a optioned B74 hj van 3 seater from Brisbane built it had from factory carpet full roof lining and get dash the original owner wanted a sandman but 3seater told not many were built due to cost.

Good on you Darryn, saw your question the other day, sounds like a rare beast with some good options. What condition it is? a full restoration needed or ready to go?
