That normally means Sandman (except in HZ where Sandmans got twin lights). Yours is an optioned up HOLDEN (base model), assuming the column shift is original. If it had a Prem front and Prem armrests it would have been a BO6 option ie Ambulance pack, but still not a Sandman.

Yes. 3.36 and 3.08 are common. 3.55 also quite common. 27J8 means 27th September 1978.

Hey there mate . Very informative site , I have recently purchased a XX7 hq sandman ( unknowingly woo hoo ) According to sites there were less than 100 of these cars ( Accacia Ridge ) It had a 5.0 M21 and GV2 ( 3.36 ) . Do you know how many of these vehicals had these options as i was in the understanding that the majority were 253 M20 optioned ??? Do you know how many of these vehicals were built ??? Would you have any idea on its value I am getting conflicting reports ?? If you could help would be great !! Cheers

Dan, its a Sandman - the 18V (slate black) trim code on an M coded commercial gives it away (unless its a NZ delivery). Yes 1935 is Carribean Turquoise.
Ian, ive heard there was about 100 HQ Sandmans built all up. But there is no proof. By my records V8 ones were more common and 173/202 rarer, but without having the build records that is impossible to tell.

Ian Email me the lot and I can compare it to others. 30b trim on a Belmont is another good Sandman sign. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Ian Just email them to me. My email address is on my website www.monaroparts.com. Basically all plate ID bar the ADRs is useful. So is the tyre placard part number. If its early enough in 1974 I may also be able to find other data out for you.

hi byron, is it possible to get info from the fiche about sandmans too? i thinking if the fiche has the option info then this may tell us things like "DL7" option etc....
i would like to know if mine had been custom ordered etc, factory black, 253 trimatic 3.08 diff
is the fiche the same info as getting a "letter of authenticity" from holden?
i have a bit of an odd ball hx sandman? I was talking to the geezer at eastern auto upholstery he said it definately would ave been a custom order considering it has a "sienna" (horrible terracotta colour / rust kill colour ) interiour which is mainly used in the toranas...
i can email you the id details if your interested as i have 3 sandman panelvans for the register...
cheers....

Email them to me if you are willing, but you wont get option codes off the Holden records. They only list mechanical options.

HX Trim codes.
The HX parts manual lists the HX HOLDEN except Sandman trim codes as:
19V, 19W, 45W, 60A, 67V and 67W
However the trim codes listed for the Sandman and Kingswood are:
18V, 18Y, 60A, 60B, 65A, 65B, 67V and 67X
What does this mean? If you have a HX HOLDEN (ie base model) ute or van with 18V, 18Y, 60B, 65A, 65B, 67X trim code, then you most likely have a Sandman.
...............................................................
Hi Byron, great informative site however I have a question as to the above info. My understanding is that cloth inserts were not available as an option on Sandmans, therefor only trim codes 18V (slate black) and 65A (sienna) would be correct according to the above. Do you have any Acacia Ridge built vehicles with a trim code other then these two? I would have thought 60A (chamois) and 67V (tan) would also be available on Sandman as these were Monaro trim codes.
My Uncle worked on the assembly line at Acacia Ridge from 1967 to 1987 and was a Holden fanatic. I asked him about Kingswood Sandmans, he doesnt remember a HQ Kingswood Sandman ever going down the line only HJs but there could have been some on another shift so he cant say for sure. He also told me the Kingswood option was dropped before the end of HJ production and no Kingswood Sandman utes or vans were produced after that. If you happen to find one it was dealer optioned due to short supply and high demand, mostly during the HX series.
How much you can rely on an old mans memories I dont know but the parts maunals tend to confirm what he has told me.

That was me above, I have now joined.
Byron you probably have way more recorded Sandmans than I do but here is what I have so far and would appreciate if you could check your recorded trim codes.
I dont think Sandmans are as hard to confirm as everyone thinks. Below is what believe is correct but should not be considered as fact without further research.
Only HQ and HJ Sandman utes were available in Kingswoods, HQ, HJ, HX and HZ Sandman vans were all "Belmonts". Yes I know the Belmont name was dropped after HQ but it will suffice for now to refer to a base model.
Only two trim colours were available on Sandmans in each model in vinyl only, cloth trim was not an option.
HQ Sandman Kingswood ute ... 30B Black and ????
HQ Sandman ute ............. 30b Black and ????
Hq Sandman van ............. 30B Black and ????
I dont have any records of HQs but the few original ones I saw in the 80s all had black trim.
HJ Sandman Kingswood ute ... 18V slate black and 60V chamios/covert
HJ Sandman ute ............. 19V black and 60V chamois/covert
HJ Sandman van ............. 19V black and 60V chamios/covert
HJ Sandman Kingswood ute may have been available in other Kingswood trim colours but I doubt it.
HX Sandman ute ............. 18V slate black and 65A,V Sienna
HX Sandman van ............. 18V slate black and 65A,V Sienna
HZ Sandman ute ............. 18V slate black and 63V,C Buckskin
HZ Sandman van ............. 18V slate black and 63V,C Buckskin
All the recorded Sandmans I have conform to the above bar one which is a 11/77 HZ 8WM70 van L31, M21, gvw 1950, 2 seater in Palais white with 67V Tan trim. However I am inclined to believe this is an optioned base model XU4.
The HX parts manual lists the HX HOLDEN except Sandman trim codes as:
19V, 19W, 45W, 60A, 67V and 67W so if you have one of these codes it is not a Sandman.
However the trim codes listed for the Sandman and Kingswood are:
18V, 18Y (cloth insert so not SM), 60A (except SM as above), 60B (cloth insert so not SM) , 65A, 65B (cloth insert so not SM), 67V (except SM as above)and 67X (cloth insert so not SM)
This leaves 18V Slate black vinyl and 65A Sienna vinyl as HX Sandman trim.
I am willing to bet that the HJ and HZ parts manuals will give similar results. Byron, if you could check your data to see if you get similar results and if someone has the parts manuals to check the trim codes we may break the Sandman delema.
