    Yep thanks guys - heading to have a look at it today. I'm thinking as long as the chassis is a match then it's all good and will buy it. Apparently the paint is mint but my plan would be to paint it black again at some stage, interior is all also excellent and still 18v. It is now running t400 instead of m21 but could be changed back I guess if I really wanted to. Engine is original (rebuilt). Will let you know what I find!

    gday there- tags can match the chassis but the body could still be from any other vehicle. you really need to rip up console/carpets, have a look for hood liner teeth and courtsey lights etc etc. It's becoming more common to see rebodies as the value of these increase. many people would remove tags when painting without a second thought... might come back to bite them now as once off, it's very hard to prove the body belongs to the tags/chassis unless it's pagewood which has a firewall stamp ( i think)

    my opinion is that it's too much at $35,000 for a car that is not very original and not a colour you are happy with.

    Engine can't be original to the car if it is running a T400 gearbox..... engine would have to be chev pattern to bolt a T400 to it. M20/M21/trimatic auto are Aussie pattern engines.

    Also agree with WB, nothing wrong with a HX.... especially a factory 308 4sp....

    3/77 HX Sandman Panelvan ... Absinth Yellow and rusty as hell .. SOLD
