Ill have a better look at my original brochure, but that looks like a HX dash. My guess is the HZ brochure cars were built during HX and hence had a HX dash. The red ute on the HX brochure was built during HJ production and has the wrong trim for a HX Sandman (it has 19V black not 18V slate).

Andrew, the HZ brochure actually has a HX Sandman pictured. They fitted a HZ console, painted the mirrors, fitted a twin headlight front + spoiler and stuck a RTS badge on the tailgate for the photo shoot.

I know what you mean. From Holdens perspective why build a full production car of the new series when they can represent the new model from existing stock.

I find this stuff intriguing.

The other thing with the dash facias are:

HJ black or silver had high beam in the warning lights below clock and a red warning light for the brakes. (failure and park brake in the one light)
HX had the high beam warning light in the speedo. and a red "brake" warning light and a blank red warning light.
HZ had the red "brake" warn light and also the "park brake" red warning light. High beam stayed in the speedo.

So white needle HJ and HX speedos are also different.

I have seen a few HJ GTS dash facias that were black with the high beam in the warning lights. (these a quite rare and hard to find) I may have a couple around here somewhere! Will have to go for a dig through my crap.........

HJ is easy to pick over HX even if the warning lights are missing. HJ had the infill panel over the left vent in Sandman and for GTS the infill panel was cut out with a saw for the vent to be fitted. In HX the dash was factory molded without the infill panel and also had an infill for the wiper switch hole for Sandman, on GTS they use the hole for the wiper dwell. This change and the warning light change would be the reason for the different parts numbers for HJ and HX GTS dashes.

If you look at the silver dash on the Ebay HJ you can see the infill panel still in place, although someone has drilled a hole in it to fit a aftermarket gauge.

Yes I have that one, but the chassis number is missing a digit and as you say the PSN is missing.

I will not leave this up too long, I dont want it to clog the thread but I wanted to show/share what I am working on.

A web based color selector for the Sandman. The easy part is done, now on to the scripting.


They are only sample colors, I have 10 so far and many more to do. Once the scripts are written I will do a best attempt color match.
The big plan will be to add the decal color sets too.

Hi wbute, welcome to the forums.

Your numbers look good for a Sandman.
4.2lt 1977 built in Sydney. Trim code of 18v a helpful indicator too. Deauville Blue Metallic is a nice colour - DY2 decal (Orange, Bright Blue, Blue).

Congratulations :)
