Byron I sent you the details when this one came up on Old Holden 2 years ago, apparently they lost the Vin plate. It was a bitza at the time with a later model front end and a/c, p/s, power windows and a disk brake diff added.
Regarding the badges on the horn caps, I think there should be a GM part number on the back of the badge itself if its original whereas the repro ones are plain on the back. If you remove the light coloured plastic backing from the horn cap you may be able to very gently pry the badge out of the recessed section it sits in to see if it has a GM part number on it. I bought an SS horn cap at Ballarat swap this year and was told it was original but upon inspecting the back of the badge me thinks its a repro!
Gas filler hole and welded up tonneau clips are a bugger, everythings fixable of course but just annoying to have to do. Bit like blokes that put big spotlights in the middle of a roof.
Doubt they have a part number. Not much on a Holden does.
I would seriously doubt that a HQ Sandman horn cap badge has any more value than a second hand repo one anymore. If anyone pays $1000 for a GTS wheel with one on it they need their head read.
Well some idiot got suckered on eBay and paid $225 for this obvious fake. Listed as a prototype one off nos HX/HZ horn cap......

Yep that's the one I was talking about somewhere else here , a one off prototype but he had two for sale in his listing both same description !
There was two listed but they were not the same. Slightly different font outlines.
They may well have been prototypes just not GMH prototypes.
