Not a bad price for a 253 HZ Sandman. I wonder how much he actually wanted for it?

Nice van and good to see them pulling serious interest and dollars but geez, why would you pay that for a 253 HZ when a beaut 308 HQ Kingswood ute XX7 only pulls $14500 at auction?

No RTS emblem on tail.


Did they have badges on the tailgate when "Sandman" was on it as well?

It looks like he is a dealer or a mechanic, check out the view of the front of the shop on google street view!

How ridiculous can it be , if you paid a resto specialist to restore one of these at $65 per hour how long would it take to get to $45,000. Not long i would imagine . Its because most backyard hacks have had a go at these and dont get them right that they cannot see the value .
It may seem like a lot of money and i would struggle to pay it also , but it costs the same to restore (nearly anyway)a HD Holden Special as it does a Sandman. So how much would the HD be worth and hence why most of them are not restored right either.
It may be a good car this one , but a friend of mine in Melbourne said they "Bentleigh Garage" sell a lot of bogged up junk heaps generally as they are greasers .

Everything in life has its price
