Could this be a HZ Sandman?

Looking good Wombat7051, great to see another beast being saved and not savaged. Be great to see your Sandman finished, from what I've read I am sure you will do a great job of it , Cheers!

Funny thing is once a car like this is restored any original evidence of it being a sandman are gone. I suppose that's why XX7 on the plates adds value. I think in years to come that Sandmans without some proof on id plates like XX7 or 18v trim on some will make them very hard to sell.

I am just thankful that my HX has 18V trim, without that it would only be a Holden ute with 253 and 4 speed. I know that the chassis is original, but I have no idea if the body is the original and as I bought it as basically a rolling shell, I will never be able to prove that it is original. Not that I really care as I don't intend to sell it anyway!
