    seriously.... You would have to see the tunnel and even then...

    I know we like to see them get decent coin but.... yikes. That is a starting price.






    this is the text from the add


    "i have a 1974 HQ sandman panelvan for sale, i have owned this car for 13 years but due to unforseen circumstances i have to sell it.
    the tags show it to be a 253 red motor with 4 on the floor and the colour was originally Autumn gold with brown interior

    this is a project car. it is licensed and running but does have some rust behind the rear wheels and in the cowling but the floors and chassis are in perfect condition. it has the gts dash and the interior was redone in black and dark blue before i bought it

    before i get any silly statements about it not being a sandman, i am fully aware that it has a premier front clip on which the previous owner put on as he prefered the look over the gts front end ( i personally think he was an idiot) i am also aware that it has a 202 red motor under the bonnet again this is due to the previous owner wanting to make it more fuel effient ( again he was an idiot).

    it has been in dry storage for the past 10 years but recently pulled it out and serviced it and cleaned the entire fuel system and replaced the fuel pump and it started without a problem

    i did have the 253 engine and complete GTS front clip up until a few years ago when it was stolen from my shed by some mongrel.

    i am open to reasonable offers from interested parties but please be aware that these cars are not very common at all so please dont waste my time or yours with silly low ball offers as you will just get a simple no.

    DUE TO WORK COMMITMENTS IT WILL BE ALOT SIMPILER TO ANSWER EMAILS AND TXT MSGS.

    i am really sad to have to sell this car as i have had it for a long time but i hope it will go to someone who has the time it deserves to restore it to its original beauty as i had always intended to do."

    No mine doesn't have the side vents either and is earlier. Adelaide must of deleted them by then and started using the HJ sides.

    Na, I made a mistake, I was looking at the plates on my phone and thought it said 1/74. An 8/74 is correct with deleted vents which HJ carried on with.

    Body number looks to be 12119x, x isn't 7 or 9 as I already have these recorded. Chassis is 58584 as stated.

    I have better photos, it is 121193 and it is 567 metallic so more than likely a Sandman especially being an Elizabeth body. The PSN is more than likely L281956.
