    1977 hz holden sandman panel van - sea witch

    Hi, can anyone tell me if the 1977 HZ HOLDEN SANDMAN PANEL VAN - SEA WITCH history.
    I know there is picture of the Sea Witch van in the HZ Sandman brochure and Trax have produce a model of this panel van (1/43 scale model). I was wondering if it sitting in some car museum in Australia, a private collector or one just done up for the brochure and just got lost in history.

    This question has been asked a few times around the place. I don't think an answer has ever been forthcoming... so let the search begin, good luck though.

    No one knows what happened to the original.

    There was/is a replica at sea world/Movie world/Dreamworld or one of the worlds at the gold coast.

    Hi, yes I have consider doing a replica Sea Witch van. Trying to find some info about it, in regards what size motor, gearbox, paint colour and diff size. Trax model, state it had a 253 engine. I reckon there would be some serious dollar in the art work. If I was going to do a project like this, i would like to think i would use a HZ Sandman van. I do have spare parts, just need a another Sandman van (HZ), bigger shed and more time. I really think it would be a great project.

    Yep, know the car. Looks cool on the street.

    Wrap was done by Vanning legend John Evans.

    With uploading to this forum you need to resize images and reduce the file size.
    Would like to see more photos of this van so keep trying.

    Does anyone know what happened to the sea witch hz sandman that was used in the sales brochures? Does it still exist? Hopefully in the hands of Holden on display somewhere?
