Just wondering if it's a Sandman or not? It's got a full headlining the correct welded attachments at the rear.

Cheers Alex.

Thanks Adam.....appreciate the help mate.

How can you tell it's a XX7 ?

Just wondering if you have any bucket seats, interior door panels and kick panels for sale?

I spoke to you a while ago and I knew you had a few holden parts for sale.

Cheers Alex

As long as the BODY plate displays BODY number 427425, build date is 9/78 or 10/78 and the chassis number is close to BHZ33000A then you most likely have a complete HZ XX7. The main giveaway is the 2000kg GVW.

I can understand the GVW 2000kg, build date and the chassis number being close to acertain number but why does the body number HAVE to display the numbers 427425.

Because that is its body number. It is contained in the number 8M70RJL427425Z.

8 M(base model) 70(body style) R(engine type) J(model year) L4(assembly plant) 27425(Vehicle serial number) Z(series code).

Thanks Jason, I was sure I had read it somewhere and was nearly going to suggest asking you;).
So all Holdens from Adelaide fall into this category? That should confuse peiople in 50 years time

Just saw this post. I don't think it should ever cause any confusion, as in the wider picture for the more valuable Holdens and Toranas the numerical part of the PSN normally doesn't match the BODY number. It's really only a 1973ish onwards thing and only from some plants. The main reason I can see that Elizabeth didn't change to the matching BODY and PSN setup was because they were building bodies for Dandenong and Pagewood hence they'd have had big gaps in their PSN numbering. As the records were listed by PSN it would have created a problem for them. I don't think it is a coincidence that Pagewood and Dandenong commercial production ceased pretty close to the time that Elizabeth started using PSN's as BODY numbers.
