Hi all. Just a quick question about my van that I had. It was 8 years old and just over 100k's on the clock,but when I brought it it didn't have the stickers on it and it looked like it hadn't been resprayed.
So did any of them come out black without stickers? cheers
The decal/sticker application was usually done at the dealership, so it was possible to convince the dealer not to put the decals on the car.
More info from others coming I'd expect.
thanx Blocker ... Interesting question?
If you look up post by Holdenon you will see he had a Sandman ute that was bought new by his brother(I think) that had the stickers removed by the dealer. I am pretty sure they were optional.
I think heaps of things like that were optional back in the day. You could order almost any option and almost anything deleted too if you didnt want it. Im pretty sure you could order them with out the stripes. Someone might correct me but i think they gave them to you in the pack, not stuck on..

Would agree that you could probably order whatever you liked. My ute is Brisbane built XX7 etc but had HQ Kingswood body side strip mouldings originally. The car was supposedly a specific factory order but never any doco to support this.
Hi, there is a local guy here, who bought his HJ sandman van brand new, at local dealership here in town. The stripes came in a package. He only put on the wording Sandman, stripes are still in the package. He still is the current owner to this day, take it out for a run and it still in great shape, also still have all the original paper work.
My understanding, with the HZ sandman, you could delete it from the order.

Back when I was young, my mate bought a HJ Sandman new and didn't want the stripes fitted. He got them in a box which he gave to me a fair while later on. I have no idea where they are now, probably thrown out in one of my moves.
Not many people wanted the stripes as a lot of vans got murals as soon as they were bought. Same goes for the wheels, everyone fitted mags.
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
