That is one nice HQ and one of the few metallic colours I actually like.

I'd be willing to bet a lot of these 74 Brisbane built HQ (everything points to it being a Sandman except no XX7 on the plate) cars are actually a Sandman. HQ was the start of Sandman and it was late in the HQ run, not a lot of HQ Sandmans were built and it would be easy for the Acacia Ridge workers to simply forget to stamp the XX7 on the plate on the odd occasion.

MY Brisbane built HX Monaro was mistakenly stamped L32 instead of L31 and there are plenty of other known mistakes.

Problem is....... as much as it probably is a genuine Sandman it will never pull Sandman prices. A pity it doesn't have Sandman panelvan instead of Belmont as vehicle type on the rego papers.

If it was a windowless or even had factory fitted windows I would pay reasonable money for it..... I just really dislike those big aftermarket windows.

Enjoy your HQ "Sandman"..... she's a cracker..... and welcome to the MySandman family...
