    $16500 for this beautiful replica... jump in..... drive it...... enjoy it now.

    OR


    $15000 for this beat up genuine HJ Sandman.... then spend mega dollars rebuilding it.... mega man hours labouring on it...... and get to drive it in a few years time.



    That HQ is a bargain.... you couldn't build a replica for that money... I can't believe no one has bid on it??????????????????

    I'd also take the Q for the money. Forster is mid way between Sydney and goldie huh... so maybe no one is keen to go for a drive.

    Very hard to beat the look of an HQ ute I reckon. Best of all perhaps???

    If the timing had been right I'd be all over it. Only thing that'd hold me back would be if the tonneau hold down lug holes had been welded up. All I'd do is drill out the filler and put the lugs back on, fill in the holes where the flat tonneau clips would be and simply paint some black paint on the top edge of the tray to cover the repair (gets covered by an original style tonneau anyway). And replace the M21 with a trimatic. Awesome car.

    That is one great looking ute. The HQ's look fabulous, especially in that colour, it even has the clock in the dash.

    OR.

    $25K for one that still (apparently) needs work on it....

    That HQ is a bargain, and only 3 hours drive north of Sydney.

    They would all be great to have cause there utes.. I really like the white one, but not at that price.. lol It would look heaps better lowered a fair bit as well.. hahaha

    The gold one is the best buy and it looks heaps good..

    The blue one is also a nice colour and nice trim as well..

    So it would be a hard choice for me to make because I like all three.. But I personally would take one of the 2 that arn't finished because I like the journey of building it myself and seeing it being restored to its former glory..
    Cheers,
    Matt
