If a Hz van after 12/77 has a GVW of 2000kg tag does this guarantee its a sandman provided they are the original tags etc. I posted info about this van already but cant find the info.

Was the B06 option available on Kingswood models? It doesnt have the Premier front and has had GTS guards fitted. The GTS dash and Prem door trims could have been fitted to it any time in the last 30yrs. Id say its just a V8 4sp console shift optioned Kingswood van. Nice combination though and an excellent candidate for a Sandman replica. Another listing where the "reserve price" is a BIG secret...

Yes, BO6 was available on HOLDEN and Kingswood vans. It is rare to find a 308 van outside of XX7, XU3 or BO6. I reckon the twin front went missing when the GTS guards were fitted. Could be as you say though.

What would have a better resale value a BO6 or a 308 Kingswood van? Or is it like was said before that they are like a "Vacationer" in the popularity stakes?

No different really. BO6 is just a dress up package, and on a van it doesnt really add much. From memory its just the nose and Premier armrests. Most got GTS dashes but its not part of the package. 308 was an option too on a BO6, so I guess the more valuable would have to be the 308 Kingswood as a standard BO6 will be a smaller engine.

Well there you go.
I thought BO6s only come in 308s with a column shift Turbo 400.
So my 308, column auto turbo 400, GTS dash, full hoodling, Kingswood van with Metallic paint is not as special as i thought it was.
Bugger!

Its special as it has a 308 and is a BO6. No doubt rarer than a Sandman but like other such oddities will never bring big money. If it was a one owner, original paint, really good original van itd pull good money but its like all the lesser spec cars. You are better off modding them and using them if they have already been altered or suffered the ravages of time. There is little point in restoring them to original, unless you want to! Youd be better off ($ wise anyway) making a Sandman replica out of it.

How many kids would have enjoyed sitting in the middle and changed gears for Dad. My son for one, he would have been watching my left foot like a hawk, lol.

Nice pickup Jason! If the plates are original to the vehicle then yep its a Sandman. However Byron would definitely like to see/add those plate details to his database. [url="http://www.mysandman.com.au/"]  [/url] |
