I may soon be buying a modern day equivalent of a Sandman

V2 Monaro was called Devil, and it wasn't a metallic like Hazard. Heron has been around even longer, my VSIII ute was Heron white! My concern with Hazard is premature fading and resale. They look awesome though. The nicest colour of the lot in a Thunder looks to be Sizzle, but again resale may be a problem.

Proper Sandmans are utes anyway, even the original concept was a ute. Idea was a "Sports Utility". Putting a canopy on just makes it an SS ute with a canopy! They don't look too bad though, except that green one in the Ebay link. Black looks good.

There's aSilver one on Broadmeadow which even has the Sandman stickers on it.

A bloke we deal with at work went to Singleton Holden and got a new VE V8 manual in Black fo about 4K less then what the best price in Newcastle was.

By the way the one in Broadmeadow could be only a VY/VZ

Black ones are pretty easy to get cheap as it is not a popular colour and dealers jump on the chance to flog them off whenever they can. I think the dark grey ones will be the same especially with that awful red dash and seat inserts.

I may even consider getting some of that magnetic stuff, cut a slot out of the middle to cover the Thunder badge on the sides and stick a HJ Sandman logo onto it. That or get Jason to make me up an "andman" logo and stick it on after the SS, so I have an SSandman!

The white ones look pretty good. My sister has an SSV ute in white with the hardcover and Clubsport/Maloo rims. Very slick looking car.

Yep agree, white looks very good.

I would do one up as a Sandy, with canopy, would look the goods,

Hazard is metalic hmm, still I drive a Devil Monaro still feels like old hat, and heron white we looked at a SV6 in Heron, they dress up well but still very old colour

Black is awesome they look the ducks nuts, but to be honest love my Morphious SS, that in a VE ute with canopy with the right colour stripes mmmmmmmmm sex on wheels
