Found this video of Holden at the Motor Show in 1973 it shows a HQ panelvan kitted out with a mural and all could this be there Mambo Sandman equivalent. Wouldn't we like to know where some of the custom concept cars like the monaro sedan shown in these old clips are today.

That van (superchicken) is Holden's pre-Sandman concept van. I was a huge hit and confirmed their idea that the sandman would sell.
I think Stickthis does the decals...
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
We want to do the decals. But I need some originals.... I know there is NOS sets around. But cant get my hands on any!Originally Posted by Big Rob

Having a bit of a chuckle at the typo in your second sentence Big Rob, who did you confirm it with? (lol!)

Do you know what running gear the Monaro sedan had? Be great if it was a big block. Anybody know if theres any replicas of that been done. Id love to see one
cheers

Pretty sure it was called the 308Q so guessing it just had the 308.
If I had the patience for fibreglass I'd be tempted to do a replica. I've got all the bits required.
I thought there was a yellow & black Hq sedan as a factory demo called old man emu 400 small block, as hk has said Hj was meant to get a 400 chev but they stuck with 308 as the big engine.
