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

VS also had Raven black too. The phantom had more of a cherry hue to it.

Raven was the black with the green through it I think. That wasn't a VSIII colour. I think there was Panther too which had blue in it (or maybe the other way around). One of those was the black on the first of the VSIII SS utes (with the older engine). Phantom has silver in it which was on the second lot of the VSIII SS utes. My guess is Phantom was released on VT which from memory was during VSIII production.

Panther had the green in it. I remember that one well. A workmate did his Mustang in it.

My top pick for the current crop of colours has to be Poison Ivy. Maybe with a white/light green/purple Sandman stripe kit?

[HK1837]

Geez. That is the only colour i'd refuse to have! Even if the car was $10,000 discount and brand new i'd still knock it back! Which is what I did with my CV8. Hothouse was $10,000 cheaper than Quicksilver, Redhot and Devil at the time.

I take it you're not a green person then?

[HK1837]

I "like" some greens, but not really bright and/or light greens. For example I'd have a HJ Sandman in Jade Green if the car was what I wanted in other areas like Kingswood ute and 308 TH400, whereas I probably wouldn't have a Jamaica Lime one, not for the same price anyway - if I did I'd respray it another colour. In HQ I'd have Monterey Green but not Barbados. Poison Ivy is a darker metallic but it is just too bright for my liking.

Does anyone know anyone that does the old school hx/hz style stripes to suit the vy / vz ? I've seen one or two around on the net and would be interested to find out?

Stick this you any help?
