Hi Ian,

In all honesty how could anyone make the statement that their 40yr old car is absolutely original unless they have owned it from new.

The Holden HZ Sandman brochure has a Absinth Yellow HX Sandman that has been updated with HZ Sandman parts for the HZ Sandman promotion photo's..... It has the console with the coin slots installed so if that console is in the pre-production promotional vehicles then one would assume it was installed in all production cars.

The console part numbers differ between HX and HZ so according to the parts manuals HZ should have the coin slots.
