If you are going to the trouble of a back to metal restoration, get the windows welded back in as it looks heaps better at the same time.
Front spoiler standard on HZ.

Heres a bit of a sleaper on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/H...ars?hash=item1e59adc842
Nice resto project by the look of it. Great colour for an HZ in Windsor Blue. Quilpie is a long way from anywhere though. Could be worth the trip if someone is keen enough.

Here is a HZ Sandman van just appeared on Ebay. Needs work but its a proper Acacia built (undisputed) example. Only a 253 and a van and a HZ so it might go for an attractive price. Its the earliest HZ Acacia Ridge Sandman I have recorded too. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/H...ars?hash=item1e59adc842

Who let the Sandman thread go to the second page? :) Byron, I have another one for your records. Its an Absinth Yellow HX Sandman built Elizabeth 4.2Lt. Guy up the road is selling it (in Adelaide). Its in fair condition, the only thing noteworthy about the car is it used to be the local FM radio stations promo cars.     Edited by user Monday, 4 January 2010 1:42:17 AM(UTC)

I could go down again this week and take a couple snapshots. The car has been in at least 2 accidents. Passenger side front quarter dinged, Passenger mid section bent in (gutter rail is mostly fiberglass both sides).
Im after a parts car, but this one had no usable parts for me. |

Congrats on a nice Sandman find.
Originally a 308, 4 speed manual.
Built in Adelaide.
Paint code is Palais White (nice!) so that would be DY2 stripes (Orange/Bright Blue/Blue Green). Unless the vehicle was ordered without stripes, which was common in the late HZ models like yours.
Would like to see some pics of the car when you get a chance. |

Almost my favourite as well. Only things Id change would be to make it a ute, change the box to an M41 and add factory air. Nice combo though. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Absinth, isnt that a 253 Sandman ?
An 80270 is a V8 Belmont Panel Van. The body plate is blank in the ENG spot because it has the base (non-optional) engine, which for this car is a 253 V8. The M20 is there, because an M15 was the standard TRANS, making an M20 optional.
Am I reading the plate incorrectly ?
