Help - is my HX Panelvan a Sandman

[seavan]

They will confirm weather it is a sandman or is not before you hand over your $90. You only pay if you want a certificate from them which is pretty generous I think.

SO, because mine is NOT a Sandman, there would be no records of it at all?

Ben does any holden. ( later HZ era he sometimes can not do due to it not being available to him.)

Yes. They will not obviously give you an image of the certificate. But they will confirm thing for you where it is possible.

Of that I have no doubt at all, his reputation precedes him. I'm asking the question in order to figure out if he does have some records that state specifically "Sandman" or the XX7,XU3 codes, or does he use his and Byrons knowledge to confirm vans such as the 2 above? Would hate for him to start getting enquiries from people who have been told they have a Sandman and pay their $90 expecting that the letter will state as such. I'm sure we've all met a few fellow enthusiasts who get overly emotional about small things.

Best thing to do mate would be email him and ask. He doesn't charge for "every" bit of advise or knowledge. Ben is all about keeping the Holden community alive and the information still out there. Instead of it just fading away with the old blokes.

Would this normally tell you if it had other options fitted as well or is this pretty much about it???

Yes. it will confirm aircond, power steer, lsd diff. etc.

Mine's 8/78. Whats a bet it'll be too late in HZ.

Good info. Obviously Ben has thought through the entire business model to ensure smooth non- confusing interactions with his customers.

I sent off VINS to 4 of my cars to some guy and got info back on all of them (this was a few years ago). HQ Monaro, HJ Statesman, HZ Sandman and GTS. Got original engine numbers for 3, selling dealers, whether they had air or steer etc.
