hi guys i bought this HQ 12 years ago and had it in storage and recently have been told it may be more then just a standard belmont van, a previous owner replaced the nose cone with a premier and re sprayed the car a really bad dark blue but when i removed the cover off the dash it revealed a full GTS dash it still has all the interior intact althought it is now a mix of dark blue and black which doesnt match the original 39B interior. so my question is could this be a sandman or am i dreaming?

thanks heaps in advanced

Certainly a chance!
Being a factory 253 4 Speed with Bucket seats. The month and year are fine for a HQ Sandman and the fact it's Autumn Gold metallic would pretty much say it is.
But as mentioned the body needs to be inspected to give up it's true identity.

As above, unfortunately you can't yay or nay these from ID plates. Easiest way is to bare the tranny tunnel and get a photo showing the shifter hole.

When you say it had a U21 dash under the fascia, do you mean it had the instruments there or just the wiring? What is the max digits on the speedo?

Nice little batch of 39B panel vans with sequential PSN and Body Nos. around that one, what is the chassis no?

[KyleHQ]

It has all the instruments behind the fascia, at the moment i have it in storage a few hours away so when i get back down there i wll pull the centre console out and get photos of the tunnel to show you guys.
