Sandman and sub cultures

[GNW1974]

I lived in the Mallee in WA in the very early 80's, there were 4 of us in our basketball team that all drove utes, i had my Q, another a dark blue 308 with Statesman front and trim (beautiful ute and a Z i think), a HZ 253 and one lad had his Dad buy him a brand new WB 202 4 speed. We had a lot of fun cruising the bush.

Farm utes were everywhere, many just used and abused until they were scrap.

Sandaro there were some cool cars when we were in year 12. XB(?) 351, XY Futura V8, lime green Charger 318, HJ Sandman Van. These were all school kids cars lol.

This is why there appears to be less Sandman utes around then vans, there is probably still a few sitting in sheds, paddocks or used to dam up a creek.
