I thought I remembered drooling at this years ago and trying to win the lotto. Price looks cheap now

Bugger that they have removed the tonneau clips.

not just you..stripes are a real bad copy..i remember this being for sale just coz of the bad stripes..

Why do people have to totally screw up the tonneau cover like that? They get water in the tray with the original cover, why would you want to make it worse? The factory air conditioning would have to be exceptionally rare in an HQ however, would it not?

I don't believe it is a genuine Sandman...... I emailed them back in Jan 2005 when it was originally for sale asking for the data plate info???? All they would tell me is it was a Belmont and a genuine sandman.....

Cloth inserts are incorrect as is the kingswood door trims and Premier console. The GTS guard flutes don't look right (weld ins?)

Original 42000klm and been in dry storage since 1997..... yeah right... that ute is far from original.

It's a nice looking ute though and I reckon the $15000 he paid is maybe around the money but worth no more today.

I dont think you can say its not origional from that mate. Most of these cars have been smashed, bashed, ratted and rebuilt again over the last 35 years...

come to think of it... so have we.

It would be nice to see the plates anyway. :-)

i reckon your right...i have a fading bit of memory on someone else trying to get the details..namely me...at the time if it was a correct ute it was 10k too dear for the fact trhat it was not original as in its stripes and parts..
