    HQ Help Identify please.

    My hq ute,
    I have always thought it was a sandman but the kingswood bit threw me. \

    Mine was built 6/74
    80480qr body code
    2 seats
    trim 1882-39e
    paint 567 15324
    rear console bracket
    original gts dash
    253 long gone 4 speed
    black has been painted on sills before gaurds have been bolted on
    GVW 4850 lbs

    I have had it for about 10 years, and my mate i bought it off had it about 25 years any info would be a great help

    thanks kerry

    You would be looking at original paperwork to give you 100% confidence it is a genuine Sandman. These early models HQ-HJ are difficult to pick.

    Your paint code "maybe" should read 15824 for Moneteray/Monteray Green. Some books list it different.
    Month is good for Sandman, Kingswood is fine, 39E is Kingswood Bucket Seats Trim.

    All the pointers are there. But cannot 100% confirm without detailed pictures or viewing the car.

    If the body is original to the tags and the console/separator bracket is original it is a Sandman. If you want send me the car's details as HQ Sandmans are hard to find to record nowadays.
