HJ XX7 - Cloncurry

Yea guys this has been on here before but sadly too hard to find.

This is a really good example of why it is so important to have a good thread title so that in the future you can find something easily.
For example I would probably use titles like;

Green HJ van 'suburb'
Lime HJ van backyard

Whatever you can think is descriptive enough to be unique as best possible without having a title that is longer than a few words.

Anyway good luck with it, I hope you have the time and energy (money) to put her back on the road.

Nice find, hope u get it for the right price..

Its always a shame to see them just rotting away like that, But hopefully on the track to resurrection..

I don't mine the Colour..

Good luck.

I remember that!

As I was working through the thread I had a gut feel that the description fit something we'd seen previously. Hope you score it at the right money. Don't get too carried away with the offer and negotiations. It is a well optioned van but you need to throw an absolute bundle at it. My advice is to take it on only if you really really want that that model and combo etc. If not, wait it out and get what you want if you are planning on a full rebuild project. Nothing worse than finishing a project and 'falling out of love ' after tipping big $$ into it!

All the best with the purchase and relocation!

Some of the ones i have listed have included chassis number in the title, e.g. AHX 012345A

Nothing wrong with Jamacian lime, plenty of replicas done in jamacian lime so they must be a popular choice

Thanks for all the comments and advice.
I received more pics and have been thinking about what to do as I prefer HQ's.
There is a lot of work to be done to this and have decided that I will pass on this one.
I have edited the title for ease of future searches. This is located in Cloncurry..
Here's a few more pics. Such a shame.

I remember seeing a Sandman van in a front yard in the Curry about 10yrs ago, when i was last up there.
It was sitting beside a HQ coupe, both looked pretty run down. Rumour has it they were owned by the same guy and he had them from new.
Gaz.

Why? Is keeping a vehicle in the open until it is totally destroyed, a medical condition? I cannot understand this sort of thing.

Having lived up there (Mt. Isa) it can be difficult to keep things out of the weather for a number of reasons. Not in the least the straight up cost of putting a cyclone rated shed up. While it is a bit humid for a few months every year for the most part the humidity is reasonably low. The same cannot be said for the sun and its effects though...
