they were nearly the reason I never bought it in the 1st place... they totally put me off....i'm glad I got talked around though...
EVEN THE YOUNG GIRLS LOVE SANDMANS!
for sure! heaps easier to sleep in than my GTO LMFAO!
Met up with Brent and his optioned up Cozmo VY Sandman on his way home from the Bathurst 1000 this morning.
Brent drove down from Merriburra in Qld in his newly acquired van, that he picked up 6 weeks ago from Canberra.
Really nice bloke and wish him all the best on the trip home!
Cheers Jon
Owner of one 2004 VY 'Holden By design' Sandman!
No I don't need a sticker package to tell me what I drive!
That is a pretty tidy and optioned up V-Series, I remember it when it was for sale. More codes on the HBD tags then most I've ever seen.
Now Brent needs to lower the thing, although with 20" it will probably have clearance issues. Always looks great seeing multiples together.![]()
Can we start passing around a donation bucket for Brent to change his rims please![]()

As "Innuendo" suggested I thought I would post some info about my VZ.
I purchased it a few years ago from a guy in Perth with only 17k km's on the clock.
It is a VZ maloo (auto, 6L) with canopy (and HSV tub liner) that has had the Maloo and HSV badges removed apart from side skirts. The rims are VY senator and are colour coded to the two tone grey of the bumper/sideskirts etc. The remaining badges, as well as the tail lights have been darkened. It is also fitted with a genuine VZ GTO front.
The story I was told was that it was ordered to be used as a promo vehicle by a dealer when the GTO Monaro model was updated/released with the new bonnet. Apparently when he bought it, it had HSV stickers all down the side but they were removed. I have never confirmed the story as it was not the reason I bought the van. The reason why I purchased it was that it was in brand new condition, immaculate inside and out as one would expect given the km’s. And of course still is.
I am at work at the moment i will add some more photos in a few days.
