Sandman Value?

**76hjsandman** · 02-07-2011, 11:24 PM

Hi All,

Someone asked me the other day the genuine monetary value of an original Sandman. I didn't really know, I have a ball park figure but still...

For instance, my 1976 HJ Jamaican Lime Sandman ute has just finished a full back to bare metal/removal of all rust restoration. So how much would it be worth?
I am in NO way interested in selling it! ;)

Love the forum

Thanks,

I would say if its spot on restored and matching numbers, $30000 ish.......

If it was a van maybe $40000. Depends if you can find a buyer to match the asking price really.

Ask Shannons. They may have some sales data available

Its really only 'worth' what someone wants to pay for it and what your prepared to let it go for.

$15,000 to $35,000???

Well said Vombill. HJ/HX ($25,000-$30,000). HQ/HZ I'd say is valued at a little more. maybe ($25,000-$35,000). :errf:

I know what ours cost to restore, and no body would pay that for it...so we just won't ever sell it......

although on our honeymoon run to Newcastle, on the way home a guy hung around waiting for us to come out of the pub...and offered to buy it when I suggested a price which was what it cost to restore it, he didn't balk...then I had to back pedal, as didn't want to to sell it and thought the price I quoted would put him off...
