My hq ute,

Mine was built 6/74
80480qr body code
2 seats

paint 567 15324
rear console bracket
original gts dash
253 long gone 4 speed

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

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.

just rechecked paint code it is 15824,, date code on back of ammeter 5/74

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.
