HQ Sandman found!!

[will.co]

More intersting conversation.....:Chin:

Well i just spoke to the bloke who sold me my van and was discussing things about HQ's etc.
Well F&%K me if he didnt introduce me to one of his mates who also has a 7/74 HQ sandman that he purchased without the XX7 but full history of the vehicle says it was definatelly bought from Holden as one.

It's got all the right,interior, numbers etc and bits etc..as you can imagine i went into detail.

I told him about this website and suggested he get on here to introduce himself and make the most of all the good stuff it offers!!

He has done a bit of work tyo the van and its not in its orig state, ie engine now a blueprint 308, tubbed the gaurds etc, but it still is a glorious windowless HQ whos true origins are a sandman...

Shit i should start a Tasmanian HQ NO XX7 club

Ill get more details and stuff as i know they will be requested and get back to you, i only had a half hour to chat with him but we are catching up for a run in the next month or so and ill get pics etc.

Most HQ Sandmans won't have XX7, especially in Tasmania. Most of those will be Elizabeth bodies which is probably what the one you describe will be. It'd be rare to find a Pagewood or Acacia Ridge van bought new in Tasmania. Yours will be very much a minority to be firstly an Acacia Ridge van in Tassy, and secondly being a Brisbane build to be missing it's special vehicle package code.

Most Tassy cars that i wrecked when i was living in TAS were Melb built.
