New Ve Sandman

[Blocker]

Sanman - it's very easy to upload, link or share your pics here.

Just have a look at the 'How to' section that's a start or you can use the simple image uploader... finally there is a Gallery section where you can create your own album and upload your own personal pictures.

If you have trouble just let someone know what and where and you'll get some help.

that would turn some heads.

Allright, I am going to say what I really think...... why dont Holden pull their thumb out of their arse and build a sandman ute based on the commodore. How hard would it be? Smash out some stickers and base them on the basic SS ute and make sure their is some really hard to identify unique part combinations to completely stuff up restores in 25 years time.

Looks pretty cool. Would have stuck to the Sandman decal on the back though. Looks a bit funny on the side.

Does look ok, but as per the "Myth's", once again they are only doing the "Van" replica's. I haven't seen any ute's as a Sandman yet.

There was a small decal on the tailgate from memory. I was impressed with the canopy. I think they are made by the same people who make the canopies for the police utes in Victoria,

Remember guys, the proper name for a Sandman was "Sports Option". This is what an SS ute is ie the modern equivalent of a Sandman. There was no SS or GTS ute in HQ-HZ like there is today. The SS is the sports version of the S ute, a "Kingswood Sandman ute" if you like. So Today:

VE HOLDEN utility = HJ-WB HOLDEN utility.
VE S utility = HQ-WB Kingswood utility.
VE SS utility = HQ-HZ Sandman utility.

There is no need for a Sandman ute as they already have one, just by a different name. If things went the way they should have in 1973 the 4 door GTS would have been called the SS, and the sports utilty and van would have also been SS. Sandman was just a name. Remove the gawky stripes and you have effectively (in HQ anyway) an SS ute and an SS van.

I think it is the gawky stripes we all want.
