    'HQ Sandman' No Reserve - eBay - Tassie

    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.

    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.

    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.
