I'd be happier identifying a HQ than a HJ in some cases.
People being worried about not having option codes isn't new, most HQ SS and HQ XV4/XW8 owners are in the same boat. You jsut have to properly inspect that car yourself first.

not that i know much about the finer points but the build dates related to kingswood and holden are fairly confusing for me in HJ

Hmm. Starting to look like a floor shift not console shift. Without seeing it in the flesh it is hard but it doesn't look like a factory console shift or seat separator car to me.

so just another rusty old van???

this should help highlight my point.... HQ 308 m21 factory 3 seater ute... no doubt a rare and desirable combination (ie like sandman) but still only worth crumbs as its incomplete, body is shot and its a full resto

May have been re-shelled or may not be a Sandman, still a very nice colour combo but, I wouldn't mind owning it. Got a nice windowless shell looking for a home too...

Hard to say but it is looking like the tunnel isn't Sandman.

Are those red looking bits at the rear remenents of weld where the console mount was cut off? Also there are screw holes either side of that plate at the front which look to be the correct position the console would screw down at the front???

I wouldn't write it off as not a Sandman just yet.....

Me either. Theres been some butchering done in that area and it looks as though this van (if a Sandman) had all its good gear stripped, including the console and probably it's mounting bracket. As has been stated on this site a thousand times before, there was a time when vans were worth squat and a Sandman was a good vehicle to pillage for parts to be put on utes and tonners.
