chrome yella, Byron answered you on page 38.
quote:
By all accounts it should be a Sandman, but the GMH records must be wrong as yours fits in amongst others fine as a 5/74. Interestingly it fits right in with 3 x others that are all ostensibly Brisbane Sandmans that dont have XX7 on the BODY plate? Go figure. Regardless, being an Acacia Ridge build without XX7 will always make it hard to sell as a Sandman so it will never command top dollar.

Its funny how not many 6cyl examples have survived. Im sure there were a number made, but they just dont exist today. GMH dropped the 173 in HX and the 6cyl altogether in HZ so obviously the demand wasnt there.
Gary, Absinth already answered your question I think.

yep no worries, just thought id recheck. anyway i thinking about how there were quite a few 202 hx sandman vans about when new, but i cant remember ever seeing a 202 sandman ute. also all the vans were 4spd blk int. has any one else seen a 202 sandman ute, and if they have its likely to be hx i expect

1 x 202 HX Sandman ute recorded but it was the red HX brochure car so it was built well back into HJ production (HJ trim code too), and ive seen another on Ebay. Most 6cyl Sandman utes will be 202 as until late 1975 they all seem to be Kingswoods in which the base engine was a 202, and in HX the 202 was the base Sandman engine. I have a handful of HQ and HJ 6cyl vans recorded, one of which is a 173 HJ.

I came across a HJ sandman Ute 6cyl (cant remmber exact size of 6)a while back out in the scrub. It was missing 2 id tags. it only have the body tag. which all matched sandman. oringal lime green paint was under the dodgey black respray. correct tyre placard. floor shift, original bucket seats and console mounting, door switches, gts dash wiring loom still in the dash. Everything saying its a sandman. nothing to prove its not. Was sad to see the other 2 tags missing!
wish i took some pics of it.... |

I have tag photos off a 2/76 1905-64V L20 M40 GV7 HJ Sandman van. It was a really good car too, got wrecked out a few years back (maybe 3 years (start of this thread actually) - its the van where I took the headlining strip photo for the website). It had 4 wheel drums, original motor, wheels, guards. Shell only got crushed about 12 months ago.

I could have bought it complete for $2000 but it was of no interest to me. Unless its a HJ 308 TH400 Kingswood ute XX7 it doesnt really interest me. Although a HQ 308 Kingswood ute like the one that went through Shannons a few months back for $15k might tempt me.....And I do know of a 1-owner HZ 308 M21 blue DL7 Acaicia XX7 van that Id also consider since Ive known it since the day he bought it home new.

The cars that you grow up with going past every day are always a wanted item. There is an old bloke (family friend) that has a HQ 2 door GTS. only 253 m21. But full original paint, mud flaps etc etc. I know its not the most collectable car but i would love it more than just about any car because of growing up with it.... yes im still trying to get it! |

The 308 im my prem was replaced with one out of a sandman van, are these any different in casting numbers or anything that a sandman owner would want or are they all much the same?

Same thing. The only person that would pay a premium for it would be the owner of the original Sandman.
