Hz Sandman ???

[Innuendo]

Car is built in Adelaide (according to ID Tag).
So can it still be a XU3 Sandman ?

What distinguishing features does a XU3 built Sandman have than a normal HZ Sandman and are they worth more ?

Yes it can still be an XU3 Sandman built in Adelaide or any other plant, it's only Brisbane that bothered to stamp them on the tag.
Are they worth more? Nope! 99.9+% of the populated wouldn't even know the difference.

The only difference is the XU3 had commercial tyres and thus a higher GVM, just like the stock tradie van.

It's either a Sandman or Not. The value is in the specs, condition and books.
Widowless sides, L31, M21 in a desirable colour in the eye of the purchaser etc.

It's whatever tickles the buyers fancy.

Would a 4/1979 built HZ Sandman still come out of the factory with the GTS rims or those Honeycomb rims ?

It would have had the alloy N67 rims like the VB Commodore styling
Honeycomb rims never were used on Sandmans.

Ok, not keen on those Commodore rims.
You have been very helpful and I really appreciate your time and assistance.

I'm with you on those rims. I wouldn't even use them as a spare or hose reel.

Anyone have a photo or photo/s of a 1979 HZ Sandman in Palais White (windowless) they can post on here for me ?

[waddell65]

I appear to be missing some kind of metal strip (moulding) on both sides, directly above the top of the door frame / opening.
I am getting told that it is a short metal trim moulding but all i can find is a long moulding that does above the door and then continues on down the vertical part of the windscreen.
I have several screw holes in both above the door and also on the vertical part of the windscreen, so I'm pretty confused.
Can anyone shed some light on this, plus provide/attach some photo's / close up photo's that can assist me re correct information and length ??

There is a metal trim that screws up underneath the opening of the door frame
There is a Holden wrecker in upper swan he should have some
he is on Gumtree to with plenty of parts his name is Pete

Sorry cant do the the pic thing

I'm assuming it's the door frame gutter. It doesn't have a moulding.
