Nice find. How much does something like sell for.

Hi Sandgirl...We got it for a fair price, a little less than he wanted as there were a few things which needed repairing, exhaust, brake leakage in the rear....the young fellow who sold it to us bought it for a lot less, so he probably is the winner here...but I also think we are.....byes jennie

Thanks Jennie I don't think you can really go wrong with a Sandman. There just seems to be so much interest in them at the moment and I think they are probably heading the way of muscle cars in price. Everyone I talk to seems to be able to identify with Sandmans in some way or another. I just hope they don't end up like aussie muscle cars hidden away in sheds and not driven like they were mean't to be.

Hi well ours is driven every day until were get her soda blasted..... yesterday, I took a pic of Rodney loading stuff into it....more for the accountant though.... once she is off the road, then our new one will be driven about.....we girls seem to be a minority on this site......most of my girlfriends think I am mad, but love to go for a drive with me......we are off to a local amataur theatre production of "Grease" and they want to go in the back of it like we did when we were went to see it at the Drive in:D

thanks jennie that answers a few questions aswell i can look at your interior as a reference to get mine back to buckskin. seats carpet and doortrims have all been changed

[jennie285]

yes it is useful to have that van to copy from...I have forgotton what our original van was even to the extent i didn't think the blinker was meant to be black if the interior was buckskin....the forum enlightened me on that, I was going to swap it....are you restoring the van on your avator, it looks to be the same colour as our red van?
