Is this a Sandman

[jennie285]

Yes I did say that in my post hoping HK can verify

If this is what I think it is, it's from orange. Yes Taiwanese if it's the one I know as my grill wouldn't fit. I can tell you about it. It's had a full resto. What are they asking for it.? It's also acrylic paint. It came from Quilpi outback qld so no rust.

Is this the same guy that owns the HQ Jennie pretty sure he had a blue HZ van when i went to look at the Q

[jennie285]

Yes Craig

If it is rust free and and as tidy as it appears 30K would be a good buy depends how much tidying up needs to be done and the quality of the resto, not bagging the guy but I have seen his chrome yellow resto and the acrylic paint job on that van was not up to scratch by his own admission had an employer paint it for him but the HZ looks good in the pictures , if it is a matching numbers and with the XX7 it would be a good acquisition

Hi just got a hj ute was wondering if it is a sandman,model HJ8WN80 body no 471720M trim 1900-18V paint 567-15946 L31 M21 GV4 any help appreciated

I'd give it a solid 80%+ chance of being a Sandman. being a Feb-Mar '75 compliance unfortunately metallic paint or GVW won't help. Tags are no use except you can rule a car out if it is say a 3spd or 3 seater. But nothing on yours says it isn't a Sandman. Being 308 4spd and metallic you have a good chance though. Note most HJ Sandman utes were Kingswood luxury level.

look for holes in the very rear 1/4's where body molds would have been secured. if no holes/repaired holes then you're having a win

If you mean the HJ ute I don't think that applies as you could option a HJ Kingswood Sandman. Fairly sure Sandaro's HJ has the Kingswood mouldings. Have to ask him if they were on it from new as its a one owner survivor.

Protection strips put on post factory (on our van). They are only stick ons, no holes drilled. Will peel them of one day.

XX7 or XU3 on a HJ N80 deleted the side strips. You could fit them back as a dealer fitted accessory but not as per original.
