Oldmans HX Sandman

[Dago]

Yep thats exacurlly what it looked like except windowless. the paint isn't original i dont know what it originally was as my dad lost all the details on it years ago. :angry:

if you want to know what the Monaro looks like here it is


not original colour, requires full restoration but is a genuine sydney built monaro 308 4 speed.

Is that Barbados green you can see through the speaker hole in the driver door of the third photo?? Good stuff mate on the collection so far. You remind me of myself at your age, except you have a far better collection than I had. I was lucky, I got my sandman at 17.

Yea mate thats barbados green, its not the cars original colour its original is Chrome Yellow



the back doors are the original as they are yellow under neath. but the two front are not the passenger side is white it also does not have its GTS GUARDS the old owner wanted them for his hq tonner so he got some normal guards and sprayed them to suit the paint (crap).

and another thing, when my dad was 14 he had 3 cars An FJ sedan a Windowless FB van and an FC WAGON
the FB van got trashed because dad left it on the side of the road one day cause it broke down and some idiot come around and smashed every thing on it.
