There is a mistake in the HJ section. Is a sandman section refers to console shift. Lots of HJ's had console shift that were not Sandmans.

You're right, should read console shift auto. That was my fault as I proof read the HJ section from the original stuff we had.

Not commercials. The only console shift HJ commercials were Sandmans.

The glaring HJ errors are:
Where it mentions HJ8WN70 as not a Sandman.
Mentions of model codes 8WM80 and 8WN80 are not totally right as these are only for Elizabeth, Dandenong and Acacia Ridge. Pagewood uses different model codes.
Floor shift under might be. No Sandmans were floor shift, all were console shift. This isn't really wrong as such, probably needs better wording though to stop misinterpretation.

Yeah confusing. Should say console mounts but seeing as they are able to be added later perhaps it should be deleted altogether.

Anywhere from $300 to $6000 depending on condition, how original it is, what part it has or hasn't got and whether or not it is actually a Sandman.

Being a 6cyl devalues it a bit.

Hi all, I am trying to figure out if Sandman's were only ever built/assembled in Brisbane and Adelaide? I'm looking to buy one that is said to be genuine, but the ID tags say that it was from Dandenong Victoria? I'm confused, everything else seems to check out. What should I be looking for to verify the originality?

Hi Millsy,

That is not a concern. Best bet these days is to apply for a certificate from Holden Historic Services, who will be able to tell you for sure.

You could post photos of tags and of the vehicle here but the answer still might not be 100%
