Looks good for a Sandman with 1950 gvw... Does it have a full headlining, centre console or mounts for one, GTS guards, GTS dash, blacked out along the sills? All this also helps to ID a Sandman. It's Jade Green metallic with black trim.

Its been repainted from original to the lighte mint julep?? green. yes has gts wheel, dash, centre cosule, been decked out in rear so different headliner. still has gts wheels aswell

Isn't that the one that had a checkered past?
Body and chassis weren't a match or police number?

Maybe I've got the wrong one but gee I feel has a history....

Yep that's it. Stolen 2 times, written off and linked to crimes in Victoria. But what if all of our vans could talk?

I'd be giving that one a wide birth if you are looking for a genuine Sandman. If you just want a cool lookalike Sandman to jump in and drive around it may be worth to 12 G he is asking... It's not a bad looking van.

Did you note the original chassis number? BHJ117xxM or close to that?
