HJ Sandman ute genuine or not?Help

[ab66]

Hi I am hoping someone may be able to shed some light on the following info of an HJ ute I am hoping to buy.Sorry for the formatting but I am pretty average on a pc.The R/H tag reads-HJ8WM80...2200kg...Body-468251M...Trim/1904-60V....Paint-56817297...L32 M20...GU4 Skinny tag-8M80REJ468251J...L/H tag reads-HJ Coupe Utility...2/75 BHJ037COM.It is a darkish blue and inside the engine bay is painted the same colour.I noticed that the black paint out along the sill around the door hanging pillar L/H/S kind of oversprays out rather than a defined edge between the black and the blue.I have a copy of the original warranty paperwork from initial purchase and all the numbers match including the correct engine still in it and chasis no which is BHJ03700M.The engine no is QR621501.I'd love to have it but cant afford to pay lots for a belmont ute.If anyone can help with the ID I'd appreciate it greatly.P.S It does not have the XX7 or anything in that area of tag.

Almost 100percent sure it is the real deal. It's not very original aside from chassis matching tags. The engine number has been faced and it pretty much illegible. I've seen this one tho mate. It's not worth what they want. Welcome to the site!

One of the other members recently sold an hx sandie ute. Mandarin 308 m21 for circa 8k in WA and it had a much better body from my understanding. There is an hj windowless sandie van in the northern suburbs for around 15 but I reckon u cold get him for a bit less. The exposure this site has given the humble GTS optioned Holden (sandman) is freakish. Prices have been ramped up but there is still some realisitic buying. If I had to choose today I'd take the hj van and leave the ute well alone unless he sells it for half his current ask! All the best
