A nice survivor Sandman. I think the price on this one is a bit high though.

As a survivor in that condition its subjective to that. It is a unique car and I suppose its worth what ever someone who desires it would pay. To do a date coded resto would also be hughly expensive and time consuming so if everything is origional I guess....

The radio supplied is a yellow needle one I noticed.

Awesome car. Bit too much coin given it is a HX, only a 253 and has windows cut into it. BUT it is a proper survivor in Mandarin with chamois/black trim. I reckon someone will pay in the 30's for this car though given it is a proper survivor.

I feel the only factor that would affect the price will be that it is a HX model. Some people are put off by that fact alone, for some reason. Having window's should not be an issue, we used curtain's in the 70's when they were new. Being a 253 wouldn't matter to the buyer, that was only a matter of choice when you bought them new. I would have thought that the public would have forgotten the flak that the HX copped on release by now.

definately have to agree with byron on the lower price...253 and windows are detrimental to value...at 55k its 25k overpriced because of those 2 items.

Oz.. Does it have the wrong airfilter on it. I thought those ones with the pipe at the front going to the rocker cover were only late HQ and early HJ?

I think that is a HJ aircleaner. HX 253 that I can recall are the otheer way around like an LH 5 litre.

thats the most expensive i've seen advertised by a long long way

I reckon it is closer to 40K overpriced.

Windows, dents, rust, 253. $55 thousand. No way.

I'm with you. I have very little first or second hand info that reflects high sale prices for a sandman.

All the action seems to be in the 0 to $15k bracket - no-one seems to be paying big bucks for a restored or survivor example
