Wanted Sandman

[HZSandman]

It would be nearly impossible to purchase and restore a Sandman for under $20k Start adding a few GTS bits to any reto and the prices start to climb very quickly. Wheels and tyres alone would be hard to purchase and restore for under $1300.

Once you start the costs just keep accumulating. Unless you can do all the work yourself and thats a bit tricky when you talk about re-chroming ($350 for a bumper), re-upholstering ($700 for 2 seats) etc.

Its a good buy at $25 except for the windows. That can be fixed for about $5000 if you pay to get it done. More fun in doing it yourself though. I have only seen about 5 fully restored examples for sale in the past 3 years. None for under $25,000

If anyone knows of a decent windowless van for sale let me know (abncraig@e-wire.net.au). Kind of given up on finding one with original motor and box. On ebay there is a nice van with windows for 25k looks nice enough all matching numbers. Any one know anything about that dealer 7 8 2 motors? bit pricey for a van with windows I think anyway. Will keep looking haven't stopped the search after a year. And awesome website

abncraig maybe this is up your alley. http://tinyurl.com/ycgmwz4

It's been on ebay in my local trader. Had a chat with the guy and it's all genuine, requires a bit of work but would be a very nice example of a genuine HX Sandman.

good luck.
