'HQ Sandman' No Reserve - eBay - Tassie

[Alien DNA]

Can anyone make out the seat capacity?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HOLDEN-HQ...item3ccfeceef8


1974 HQ Sandman Belmont option panel van
V8 308 auto
New transmission,
GTS steering and GTS dash- new carpet, hood lining and sunroof
Strong motor - twin exhaust extractors, mild cam runs on gas or petrol
Chevrolet hotwires, 14 x 7 1/2 with new tyres all round

In good running order, all instruments, dash etc - all works

Paintwork is good however car has rust in the usual spots - full metal restore and paint quote was $7500.
Car is an excellent buy for someone looking to restore a classic car to its former glory.
Spend maybe $10k and have a $40k car.

Please, no time wasters. Car is in Tasmania, will help arrange for freight for interstate buyers.

Gotta say it looks like a 3 to me,But when I/We can-the question should be asked!!!
I will in the morning find my Ebay Acc No and do that,If she's the real deal a person
wouldn't have a BIG task in bringing it back to top nick....
I'm not going for it my self tho,just so you know.
Cheers Calum.

Looks a bit close to 3 for my liking.

Was thinking the same thing!

Reckon it looks like a 3 as well, also I thought the 'A' suffix on the Trim code equals bench seat which would line up with the 3 seating capacity... but I best leave the code stuff to those that really know.

Yep 3 seater with bench seat A code = no sandman.

Ding ding ding!!! We have a winner

HQ Sandman MUST have a "B" suffix for the Trim.

The mysandman guide even points this out!

As above, HQ Belmont Sandman must have B. Kingswood Sandman is normally E but that is only ever on utes.
Workhorse driveline though, 253 auto 2.78, shame it wasn't a Sandman. Would have been a good cruiser and tow car when it was younger. I would have been very surprised if it was a Sandman anyway as HQ auto Sandmans are virtually non-existant.

I went to record it and found I already had it, but missing 3 x digits of the VIN: 8M70RDL277???Q.

don't forget J coded Sandman trim codes!, i.e 38J
