Holden HZ Sandman Panelvan - eBay

[Felicia]

Relist at 10k buy now for an `ol tradies vehicle with excessive rust / weathered? (Not to mention the metal plates arent attached...) Something isnt right with this one.... if thats worth 10k to somebody, some nice examples would surely be worth 50 - 60k? What was this vehicles history? It's listed as an XX7, and after research, the only sandmans to be recognised as "XX7" AND desirable to collectors at auction, were built in qld... not Adelaide. This one clearly rings the alarm bells... I may be upsetting some, however it is not my intent. I would love to hear others honost feedback about the authenticity of this XX7, and the astronomical price. There must be an explanation. It seems that some `experts' of this forum / panelvan owners may be manipulating information, to secure better sales figures for their bombs.

[MENTION=603]Felicia[/MENTION] - you arnt on Fastlane as "Bob Dobalina" are ya... ahhh the classic stir and wait for the bite. haha

I guess thats why those bertiestreet.com sites are not as inclusive like here. They just get tired of it.

But..... we are inclusive so please expand. Everybody is welcome to a point of view and hopefully that increases the bank of knowledge on Sandman history for all.

Do you think Sandman's were only built in Brisbane and if so why?

Felicia the XX7 is the designated GMH code for the Special Vehicle Options Package as is XU3 in relation to Sandman.
There are many others for other models and series e.g;

XW5 - Outback Equipment Pkg
XX3 - New Zealand Vehicle Pkg
XX4 - Thailand Vehicle Pkg

You are right that XX7 and XU3 were only stamped at the Brisbane plant, but the Sandman was not exclusively made at Brisbane, they were made at other plants as well although not stamped XX7 or XU3 this does cause some confusion and would have been easier if GMH stamped XX7 and XU3 at all plants for the Sandman.

There are shysters out there that would 'dress up' a van/ute to appear as a legitimate Sandman and a community like we have here should be educated and vigilant

Felicia. Looks like you need to do some research. Also do a google search for stickthis decals. And then tell me I am a dodgey seller. I have been around the sandman community for a long time. Price is 10k with best offer. So basically best offer gets it. I am sick and tired of dealing with dreamers and time wasters. Anyone who is serially interested will contact me. As for tags not on the car. It was stored interstate. I took them off for safety. Chassis matches so I'm unsure of the issue? Body is original and again if someone isn't a time waster they will take time tome to come have a look and see for themselves.


LMAO thankyou for your expert input. ;)

What a load of cr@p. So that also means all the XV4 and XV8 HQ Kingswoods not built at Acacia Ridge are also not desirable?

HAHAHAHA. Byron. When I listed it I simply done it to stir the pot by putting XX7 in the listing. Not doing anything wrong as it's what it is. There has been many "experts" tell me it's not hahaha.. Again I gets rid of the dreamers. ;)

Agree 100% Byron (load of cr@p)
I have an Adelaide built HQ XV4 (Barbados Green) and an Adelaide built HZ XX7 van (Flamenco Red) ... the fact they were Adelaide built made no differene to my decision to purchase as I knew what I was getting.
Desireable? PG13ing OATH, to me anyway.
