Want to sell it? haha let me know!!!!
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.

Its something about the white HZs that I like. I would love a ute but I already have a Ute. So thinking that a van would be the go. Ah will keep on dreaming! |

Thanks guys, (Sigh of releif)I know nothing about Holdens but I did know I wanted a white HZ Sandman, I sorta panicked and just bought it cause of the colour combo and just hoped that what the guy was saying was true. If you guys ever want to know anything about Mopars, US or Aussie just give me a holla as I DO know about those... Regards, Darren Edited by user Sunday, 17 January 2010 7:39:10 AM(UTC)

Fairly broad question there, though you just might find the answer here http://www.valiantinfobase.com/

To my knowledge that bonnet black-out wasnt a factory option but it wouldnt be too difficult for the average painter to do. You just mask along the bonnet ridges & put a second mask for the thin stripe.
Its just a copy of an HX GTS paint scheme.

That is a pretty original van, but the bonnet blackout isnt.

Plenty of original rust as well.... check out the size of those side windows..... Nice colour, Mandarine Red with black trim and neutral headlining, it is identical to my old HJ Sandman...except that one still has its roof.... Lot of work for two grand, youd have to really want it and its only a 253. Note the original Silver dash fascia. Byron, the HQ and HJ colour charts I sent are apparently blank on the back, model availability is written under the colour on them. Do you have any info on the black vs silver dash fascias on the HJ Sandman, I am still of the belief that black was non Sandman optional GTS dash and silver for Sandman but there seems to be a lot of black fascias in what appear to be Sandmans??????

Ive always believed that the HJ GTS had silver dacia and the sandmans got a black facia (standard)
But this is not a researched thing. Just something I have noticed over time. |

The HJ Production Option availability documents dated Oct 75 for XX7 and Jan 76 for XU3 simply list U17 - Cluster Instument assembly. There is no mention of any special fascia. I also looked at the HJ ordering procedure "Special packages" date 2/75 and again there is no mention of any special fascia.
The early HJ Parts catalogue only lists the two fascias (floor and column shift) for Type 4 dash so that means GTS and Sandman were the same early on (Silver??). The part stays the same for GTS in the later version of the catalogue but the rest that got the type 4 dash had different numbers dependant upon whether the were M and N or P coded luxury level? The later M and N p/n is different to the HX fascia as well (where GTS and Sandman are the same again). So this all tells me the early HJ Sandmans had GTS fascia but later Belmont, Holden and Kingswood that got a type 4 dash had a different fascia, and this is probably the black one Jason is talking about. I suppose the assumption is this happened at the same time the HJ Premier and LS with GTS dash got a unique fascia?

FWIW All the Holden released sheets and promos that I have shows silver fascia from HJ through HX. I have not seen a black fascia from these models on any ads, fly sheets or promo material. I have uploaded some here http://tinyurl.com/ye5s95gEdited by user Tuesday, 19 January 2010 7:21:12 AM(UTC)

Has anyone got a copy of the later HJ Sandman brochure? Does it show the dash?

Byron, if you look at my link above, and check the 2nd last image on that list - HZ. Is the indicator stalk unique to the HZ series? This also has a silver fascia. |
