    Very steep. I reckon the value should be close to par with a similar condition v8 non-sandman. Technically it is still a Sandman, but it's full collectibility isn't there. The Sandman aspect is just a good story rather than a value adder.

    If the seller isn't hiding the fact and some one wants to pay the price, good on him.

    It's always what some one is prepared to pay that gives it the value.

    When you said "needs a paint" I was picturing a lot worse than that. Price probably isn't too far off, but if it was a full replica with all those good bits on it then it's probably worth a decent amount too. If you want a Sandman and the chassis doesn't bother you then it's probably a good car. The only issue comes with finding another person with your mindset when you go to sell it.

    Yeah thought that too. But owner said it needed full respray . Might be an old shot. Interior all original. Interesting to hear everyone's thoughts. Been for sale quite a while.

    Wow! Then my van REALLY needs a respray!

    I have owned cars that needed a respray a lot more than that and I still didn't see the need.

    Nice ute, not sure it's $20,000 nice but it would look good in my driveway....
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!

    Ha, know what you mean. I'd have throw in some transport costs too, but it's my preferred Sandman colour. Can't be many out there.
