Sorry Absinth, if my sarcasm was too subtle. I, myself believe the number would be north of 500, but don't have anything to base that on. And, personally I know of 2 HQ sandman vans stripped to build utes and the bodies cut up, in the late 90s.

My questions regarding what may be incorrect on this great looking green van are as follows:
steering column, is black correct for Belmont?
should this have trim bands on the Rally wheels? or an option?
should there be a PCV hose on the rocker cover?
3 row radiator would be option at least"
the air cleaner shouldn't have the heat valve thing on the snorkel (later model)
the heater/blower fan and housing is from a later model, as HQ wiring is direct to the resister on the plastic housing, not fan motor

Can I also say I would love to own this car

cheers
