In my opinion, if it went through Shannons it would pull high $20,000s, maybe even crack $30k. Although I reckon a TH400 example is more valuable many value the manual higher. Its almost the ultimate combination for me. The only way to make it better for me would be to make it a HJ Kingswood ute. ID data would be great if you do buy it, plus a copy of the build sheet. It all helps to put the puzzle back togetehr.

Youll struggle to find them as described anywhere, but theyll always be pushed down value wise by Monaros. My email address is on my website.

Im pretty sure its september 1974. I have both HQs and HJs recorded as 9/74 build. Not sure of the actual day. If you have HQ guards with HJ flutes and they arent welded in then they were probably pressed by the guy that used to do them in Western Sydney. I seriously doubt any HQ ever left a Holden assembly plant with HJ flutes, but stranger things have happened.

yeh thans byron
the west sydney guy thing makes some sort of sense
there s a guy in maryborough qld that can press hj slots easily, but not possible to press hq slots with out cutting the edge of the guard to fit on his press and welding back on after pressing the only way to do it without weld in panels apparently

Good chance of being a Sandman. 30E trim is normal for a HQ Kingswood Sandman ute but also normal for a plain Kingswood ute. Does it have interior light door switches? Console mounting holes?

That firewall number is important but doesnt match anything else. 129 difference is about right.

So Byron, does that make the HJ kingswood ute with XX7 the rarest of the sandmans?

No, I just reckon although the HQ looks better, I like the HJ because the TH400 was available, which to me makes it my ultimate - say a white with black trim HJ Kingswood XX7 ute in L31, M41, GU4 with air and steer. The rarest would probably be one of the 6cyl examples, maybe a 6cyl auto HX Sandman ute or a HQ 6cyl maybe. The HQ Kingswood XX7 ute in 308 M21 with air and steer is probably the most desirable and valuable. Possibly also an HX Overlander ute/van sold new through a Holden dealer may be the rarest of all.

Blank means 253 3 speed as it must be a 480 due to 4850lb GVW. Only ENG blank means its a 173 or a 253 (380 or 480) with optional transmission (M40 or M20) and optional diff.
