That is the appeal of them though, you can buy a really nice optioned up Kingswood ute for $15,000 essentially ready to use, or if you want to paint it probably $5k. You don't pay the stupid "rare" tax that people want to whack on today. To me a black L31 M41 and further optioned HJ-HZ Kingswood ute is a far superior and desirable vehicle to a 6cyl or 4.2L Sandman, and for the $5k purchase price it'd probably be far less rusty. Of course in the end people will still get a stiffy over a 6cyl vehicle because it once was a Sandman but there will always be others who appreciate the fully loaded non-Sandmans. I'm not talking 6cyl or even 4.2L Kingswoods, just the 5.0L versions. In my eyes a vehicle loses as much as 40% in its appeal (and hence I suppose value) if it is a 4.2L rather than a 5.0L.
