BO6 came standard with a bench seat & column shift. Ive seen more BO6s with out a console than with one. Dr Terry. _______________________________________ The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter. |

In the questions and answers the seller states he has been told by monaroparts.com that it is most probably a Sandman?????????
I think he means he read it on there. Doc, Ive owned 2 and both were column autos but all the manuals Ive seen were 4 speeds. I think one had a console - it was a 253 M20 in green. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

This is probably due to the fact that most BO6s were V8s & all 308 manuals & most 253 manuals are 4 speeds. Making a 3-speed column shift manual BO6 a rare bird indeed.

Well I think Byron deserves some congratulations - 100 pages, 1000+ posts, and closing in on 70,000 views. It looks like the interest in Sandmans is alive and well.

You couldnt order a BO6 in L31 M21, only L31 M41, L32 M20, L32 M40 - not sure about L32 M15 or 6 cylinders (Ive never actually seen a 6cyl example). The two Ive had were a white HZ 253 auto column shift 3.55:1 with air, Ultra blue HZ 308 auto column shift 3.36:1 (my Overlander) and a friend had a Panama Green HZ 253 M20 with 3.55:1. All had GTS dashes.
There is some more great Sandman stuff to come as well - been working on the book more. Well into HJ stuff and there is some fascinating info in HJ. Things like in 1976 HJ (presumedly after range was rationalised at LX release??), a 308 van with air is a Sandman ie you couldnt (officially anyway) order A/C on a 308 van. And you couldnt officially get a 253 auto ute unless it was a Kingswood, but not Kingswood Sandman ie no 253 auto Kingswood Sandman utes (you couldnt get a Holden Sandman ute after 10/75, only Kingswood). All of the above if im reading the documents correctly - ill get a few others to check them first to make sure im right! What a nightmare!!

Because there arent many BO6s around, are they going to be more of a collectors item in later years?
P.S. What about my BO6 HZ Byron??
75 HJ Sandman Pano
78 HZ BO6 Pano

My guess is theyll be as collectable as Vacationers etc or any other low volume sellers.

also that sandman utes ceased on 23/3/1979 and yet an XU3 5/1979 ute turned up on ebay recently...
the more you dig, the more you find... so much for some of the holden documentation.
WANTED:
-2 14 x 9.25 CSA style Centrelines.
-2 x 15 x 8 Dragway centrelines |
Old holdens brought on the spot, quick decision, cash paid. |

Yes I know. The GMH ordering procedure dated 23/3/79 says under XU3 and XX7 "8WM80 model - cancel effective as soon as possible". So that means from this date you could no longer order one. The 5/79 example was more than likely ordered prior to this update.

HZ Sandman Stripes....
I brought a NOS HZ parts book recently and it came with a supplement. Its effective October 1980 just like the parts book.
Interesting thing is in the supplement is lists the sandman stripes available. It does not list DY6. And! it does list DX5. But it lists what is believed to be DX5 HX stripes (plum, purple, dark blue). Not the bright blue, blue green, dark blue HZ DX5. So where does this leave the three Blue combo? How sure are we that the 3 blues in HZ are DX5?? In October 1980 the 3 blue combo was not even listed....
It goes on also. DY4. Is listed as bright yellow, light orange, dark orange. I thought this was a HX only colour. obviously not. So if DY4 is the orange/yellow combo than what is the white, blue green, dark blue combo called in HZ.
Opens up a can of worms no doubt!
