I am pretty sure the chassis was replaced when it had the prang. remember it being talked about at one time or another on here.

Chassis Matches, the chassis which didn't match was the red one for sale in Parkes a couple of years ago with the burned front end.
we offered him $10k for this van, when we were desperate, before we found the yellow van, it has had a new front clip, but that is all that has been replaced. We consider $18K is way to steep considering what we paid for our red van. I have been at him to paint and restore it, then he may get that sort of money.

Can't be 100% original as it has a Caprice front panel and can't be a Sandman as it has a GVW of 2200kg. Probably an "original"special order Holden Panel Van back in the day!!
HQ Glacier White Belmont Ute
Wanted Lanspeed accessories for Holden Grey engines, twin carb manifolds, extractors, rocker cover, 3 speed floor shift.
Deffo an original sadly we are old enough to know its history....current owner is second owner, and the caprice front was put on when he had a dingle in the early 80's. It has been a twin headlight front end so long we thought it was HZ not HX until we looked at ID, 2 years ago. I even remember his ex wife driving it with the kids in the back...

I recorded it wrong as well Byron, the other thread it was in was http://www.mysandman.com.au/forums/s...Register/page2 again hard to read the VIN
$18,000 is way too much for that van. Put another $7000 into it and how much would you get done.... not even a paint job.
For $25,000 you can get this right now and I'll bet he spent more than that on it....as much as I love Sandmans I know which I'd rather have when it comes to value for money.

Both are pieces of GMH history!
Turnpike Red that's a colour I haven't seen before, also Berger paint code, not Dulux, I have only come across a few Berger painted cars mostly HZ's and the odd fleet HQ. Also the Body plate is the old style without the driveline info at the bottom.
Back in the 70's those K20's would have been able tow anything caravan or boat wise that was on sale, didn't they have a 292 6cyl in them originally?
I think all the 70's CKD cars got that BODY plate without the lion. I have all the colours and ID info for these somewhere. These had 292 in them as did the C20, C30 and C50. Around 1978 they made 350 and TH400 available in C20. I looked at buying this car years ago but was put off by the 305 and still having the old truck Saginaw. If it was still a 292 or they'd fitted a 350 or bigger I may have bought it. I bought the Cross8 instead. If the K20 even had air I mave bought it.
Ah thanks for clearing that up Jennie. its hard to remember whats what now there are so many Sandmans turning up.
