Lets face it, most were just workhorse pigs and that was their market.
A few of us see things differently and treat these as cherished items not to be used for carting rubbish, tools and dirt bikes.

Ultimately this is the market the Sandman was targeted at. But in reality they were just a workhorse with stripes.
Some commercials are better suited to remaining dirt pigs as they hold little interest as anything else and I'm not sure a metallic paint job made any difference.
According to the ebay ad, seems it's life ended as a work pig.
