Sandman without original chassis. Still a Sandman?

[Flamenco_not_Flamingo]

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.
