I have also looked at this ute. It looks schmick as in the flesh. The guy selling it is not selling it at a profit, he told me he was just covering his costs (he works there as previously mentioned, so no labour costs). They quoted me $60,000 for resto of a HZ panelvan. This seemed crazy when we could have bought the one in his shop which was a sandman for $20,000 less. He commented that it had been on sale for a while as there are inaccuracies, such as a 253 instead of a 308 engine, which he assumed was putting people off. Very nice looking ride though, interesting to hear what you have all said about your opinion on value.
