I have a 76 HJ xx7 sandman tux black with balck trim, rare or common? i have heard of a few and a few Hx's but only seen maybe 2 others in the flesh?

[HK1837]

Tuxedo is not all that rare, not as common as yellow but not rare (so far anyway).

Leroy, unfortunately the Cyclamen HJ isn't a Sandman.

The Pananas are pre 11/78 and I have some already. I'll see if I have any of those yet. It's post 11/78 that I have no Panama example.

Never heard of Orangeade as a colour.

There's a pic here http://gallery.oldholden.com/Mr_Jone...lours.jpg.html

I have seen an HX GTS in Sunburst but the rest have escaped me so far.

Should have read the whole question re the Panamas :errf:

I'll keep my eyes open for the others

i have seen a HJ in cyclamen in WA. GVM 1950 kg 2 seat. WM body
it has had a few owners lately and is doing the rounds as people figure out the tags don't actually match the car...
i went to look at it in Australind and last i saw it advertised it was in busselton..
i put a link to it on here when it was advertised then...

also, at of the GM days over east there is a pic of a cyclamen HQ ute - not sure of its ID, i have seen the pic posted up here before from Absinth....


as for Panama, i can think of 4 off the top of my head...most of them 1977 builds from memory

how many Malachite do you have???

[abncraig]

my hz panama is pre 11/78

[HK1837]

Adam

I'd missed that one. When it comes up again i'll have Cyclamen covered.

3 x Malachite, all 1979 HZ. 2 x vans and a ute.

[mrsandman]

how about bordeaux hx and saddle tan hz, rare or not so rare?

[HK1837]

1917: 1 x HJ van, 2 x HX vans.

1937: 1 x HZ van (series I). 1 x HZ ute (series II).

I've just used series I and series II for HZ to distinguish between pre and post 11/78 specs, this is not an official GMH moniker, just used it for ease of discussion.
