Hj ute sandman

Lot of work to remove the body dip and electrostatic red lead primer off Dandenong body tags too Dave, plus this plate is dead flat for some reason I wonder how they removed the kink in it?

Taily failed to mention that I was the one who asked him first about the lack of paint on the tag...

Hi,
I have a HJ 308 sandman ute built July 1975 with a 308 . It came with 2 engines. So can anyone tell me what engine numbers are around this build date as one does have a casting date of June 75
Thanks

HJ started after about 550000 so if you have the original it'll be higher than that.

numbers are not enough.. unless those numbers and letters are XX7 or XU3
HJ utes are hard to identify and easy to fake

all you need is a factory HJ Holden or Kingswood v8 4-speed with buckets and the GTS stuff just gets bolted on!

tidy looking ute. good luck with the sale and welcome

I'd like to know where the information came from that Contessa Gold is a rare colour? I've seen quite a few HJ Sandmans in this colour and plenty of HJ Kingswoods.

considering there is nothing original on this ute, the modifications and the fact what is there needs restoring I reckon it's doing well to get to the $7000 it's bid up to at the moment..... Mind you, the winning bidder has to follow through and close the deal with the necessary neddies.......
