Robbo, it would be identical to a Brisbane build Sandman minus the XX7 stamping.


hj308, there is no way to tell what percentage of cars were Brisbane built compared to other States and Holden didn't keep records of numbers of special vehicles built. None that have been found anyway.

No matter what people say... proof of lineage does affect the value and the proof is in the sales figures. Non XX7 HJ Sandmans sell for less than non XX7 HX and HZ Sandmans with de-rated GVW's. XX7 stamped vehicles sell for more than non XX7 stamped vehicles unless they have Sandman specific trim codes or documented proof of being a genuine Sandman.

How much less a non XX7 stamped vehicle sells for has a lot to do with the quality of the restoration, the more original and genuine it looks the more you will get for it.

There were a lot of V8 console shift vans and utes built that were not Sandman's, after over 30yrs and multiple owners it is almost impossible to tell the difference between these and genuine Sandman's.
