    It is a "possible" Sandman.

    Couple of points:

    Should have fluted guards
    Never had a GTS Grill Badge
    Standard mirrors are correct for HQ
    Clock was optional
    Sandman decal were dealer fitted (or not fitted) as per customer request.

    Trim 1870-30e Kingswood Black Buckets
    Paint 567-15337 Metallic Sunburst Gold (a good sign) but still common to Kingswoods.

    touch and go mate coz it could be an optioned up kinga with floor shift. if paint is orig and there are no gts guards or stickers i'd be worried. delete stickers was only an option in later models.

    console mounting brackets will be the clincher apparently. hard to see how you can hang your hat on one check box huh

    Stickers mean little on HQ. They came rolled up in the glove box. May never have been fitted. Fluted guards, could have been changed years ago. No GTS mirrors for HQ. HX onwards in Sandman.
    Got any pictures?

    I'd give it a 50/50 chance. The only things on (or not on) a HQ Kingswood Sandman ute that were not standard or not option-able on a HQ Kingswood ute are:

    Sill stainless strips deleted from Sandman.
    Sandman had fluted guards.
    140mph/225kmh speedo (Kingswood when optioned with sports instruments got 120mph/200kmh speedo).
    Console shift standard in Sandman - Kingswood optioned with buckets and 4spd was floor shift only (no console available).
    Satin blackouts on lower body as mentioned, and headlight surrounds blacked out.
    Sandman got SS grille.
    Sandman got horn cap with insert hole with unique Sandman insert.
    Stripes were dealer fit so they were there or not depending upon taste. 1870 (Sunburst metallic) got XX7 (black) stripes if fitted.

    VIN for the car is 8N80TDJ431226Q - you already provided it in the text.

    Its chassis number should be ballpark EHQ257xxM to low EHQ261xxM, probably closer to EHQ25800M or thereabouts but they can vary a tad.
