Adam Perths HZ sandman UTE

**adam perth** · 19-03-2010, 12:14 AM

currently registered with worked 010 350 chev, T400 (have original motor)

not correct colour at the moment - its supposed to be malachite green, not barbados as it is now

brissy build, XX7 tagged, L32, M20 March 1979. 153,000 km.
Rare 11 C trim (grey)

The story goes ; this guy rang me from the paper wanting a 10 bolt sails diff for a ute and for it to be fitted, so, we agreed on $500 and i changed the blown one out. After taking it for a test run with new diff,
Then the young guy (21) with 2 newborns said " now i can sell the piece of crap", so i said, "whats under the bonnet + How much"?
and when i saw the XX7 tags and worked 350 i jumped at it.
To this day, he still didn't realise what it was..

i brought it for $4400 in 2004, with a blown diff minus $500. so it was $3900

i haven't done a thing to it apart from change carb from holley to Rochester

i will pull it off the road when i have the time to commit to a full rebuild - which will be modified stock.

has anyone seen another malachite ute or van???
Malachite is a 1979 colour only, and the utes finished in march 1979, i am yet to see another HZ in this colour.

Looks pretty straight, should come up good. What else has been modified? The guards obviously, but is much else differant?

nah, the interior is original, original seats and doorlinings, even roof lining.
its a low milage car really with a 350 chev T400 after the fact.
I have a HZ GTS steering wheel for it now, as it had a sports steering wheel.
the console insert has been changed for the auto, thats all.

the guards are genuine, which is a bonus as i will swap them out for standard ones when the time comes

this is malachite in HZ, one of my favourite colours for HZ.
