Interesting comments guys. Including Sandman's are only worth $5000 and WB's are worth $7000 ? (joke). My intention was to restore and keep the car for my kids to use, however things change (Vintage car project). This car in no way am I trying to recoup my restoration costs, the (ridiculous) price is reflective of HQ monaro's with excellent restorations. When I was looking for a sandman to restore I knew it had to be a HQ because there would be less chance of over capitalising. The members who have restored cars have a better picture than those with cars are still in pieces, with all their faults. Restorations are not cheap I would estimate most of us would spend between 35 to 45 thousand dollars these days. I can honestly say after 4 years of expense and effort, people who have seen the car say its amazing.
