    A Sandman is the most over inflated car for price in Australia. There is no doubt. They are not rare or comparable to a HQ Monaro which hangs on to earlier Monaro glory.
    A Sandman was just a sticker kit without even a unique model code. They are only making the over inflated prices because they are perceived as rare. They are not.

    Must admit, i totally disagree with you there mate. Remember the days of XY GTHOs hitting a million dollars??? THAT was over inflated. Sure they had race pedigree...but the Sandmans are so recognisable, they become a cultural icon...even to this day

    Bang for buck, Sandmans are holding up well against the like of Monaros,Falcons and Chargers......and theyre pretty much cooler than most cars on the road
