    HQ Sandman ute replica- ebay- SA

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....tchlink:top:en

    Sitting on $10,099.00 with reserve not met.

    Here we have an original HQ V8 4 speed manual ute. It was originally white with a 253 V8. The ute has been transformed into a Sandman replica with a 308 engine now fitted.

    The ute underwent a bare metal body restoration with all rust sections cut out and replaced with sheet metal sections. It has been painted in Barbados Green, 2pack clear over base inside and out.

    The gts front fenders are genuine not with welded in flutes.

    The interior is all new. New seats, headlining, carpet, door trims, sandman/gts steering wheel, gts dash with new fascia and lenses. the console is original HQ console and is mint.

    All of the glass in the ute is new including door, front and rear windscreens.

    All of the chrome is new, the stainless trim has been all polished and the light lenses (front and back) are all new.

    All new rubbers, seals etc.

    The 308 is a black motor and is standard with a Rochester carby and genuine aircleaner. It has power steering and has aircon fitted but not physically plumbed up.

    The front and rear suspension have been rebuilt, as have the front disc brakes.(New rotors, rebuilt calipers, etc). The ute has been lowered all round to give it a tough stance.

    The gts wheels have been blasted and painted in the original colours.

    The ute genuine power windows fitted with a 2 gang switch fitted (new from an el camino) in the rear ashtray section of the console so not to spoil the appearance of the new door trims.

    A new flat tonneau cover has been fitted with press studs.

    This drives awesome and is extremely reliable.

    I am looking at also swaps/trades of another classic/muscle car up to the value of $30k in similar condition.

    Genuine enquiries only.

    Will help with interstate bidders with organising transport.

    All funds must have cleared into my bank account prior to vehicle pickup.

    $1000 deposit required at conclusion of auction.

    Good luck bidding!

    There was no Sandman console or even a Monaro one. There is only really one console for HQ Sandman timeframe and that is the same one a 1973/4 GTS had, with no seat belt holders.

    It is a well presented car, shame the tonneau clip holes have been removed. Colour ruins it for me though, although it isn't as bad on a uto as there is less of it!

    No need to justify yourself Gene

    Agree with the tonneau clips.... What a shame. Yep, not my favourite colour of the hq range.

    Should be interesting to see what she fetches price wise

    I like it. The red walls are far too wide and the front is up in the air like an overlander 4x4 but that's all fixable. I love the fact the toneau clips are gone (ugly things!) and as it NOT a Sandman it doesn't need to be original. Colour is great and says 1970's perfectly. Looks like he is chasing 25 to 30K and I'm not so sure about that. But it's a nice ride - pity it's not a Van!

    Its great how well all have different tastes! If it was me looking at it i'd be complaining it was too low as the tyres are entering the guards, i'd be getting quotes to put the clips back on the sides and paint it a nice colour! If the welding up of the clips hasn't wrecked the quarters (the lighting does seem to hint at warping) it wouldn't be all that difficult to cut it back and change it to Azure Blue or Chrome Yellow or similar colour. Seriously nice car though that you wouldn't ever buy to do that to though as it'd be a waste.

    Fantastic green paint and you want to go and paint it yellow! Sheesh, the nerve of some people! I'm with you in the ride height though.
