I'd love to see the ID plates off this one, I have #11 recorded.

I still believe you would not lose your money on this, even at that price ??? I appears to be in good nick..

Very cool. Full on time capsule by looks of it. Anyone know if those decals were put on by Hayward?

Money seems about right. Nice condition and super rare vehicle.
It's got the 1970's fuglyness going on with the colour and stripes.

Looks like it always wanted to be a Panel Van. So much cooler had it been

Time will tell but I think $38k is possibly too high. I struggled to get $10k for mine, and although it wasn't a Sandman it wasn't a HX either and it was a rarer Overlander being a cab chassis. There have been a few of these for sale for that sort of money for a few years now. Personally I think $25k max would pull it up.

With that many km on it it would need the driveline going over for sure thats where your cost will be going at a guess

Most of it is pretty cheap to get hold of, brakes are Cherokee, as is most balljoints, tierods and bearings. Inner wheel bearings are Blazer. None of it is much dearer than HQ stuff. None of it really waesr too much either as it all belongs in a K20 or big Cherokee.
