    Xu4 is a non-sandman pack fitted with the passenger tyres.
    Being Absinth Yellow with Black trim definitely helps the case. It's one of the hero colours likely to be picked for a Sandman. It will probably come down to what original evidence is left on the body.

    it had correct tyre placardmi am sure and has GTS dash, GTS guards, GTS wheels, Courtesy lights on lower under dash panel.
    GTS steering wheel with Sandman Emblem.

    I don't know what else to check, Holden has advised they Will Not authenticate sandmans, Where do I go from here.

    I am actually selly the vehicle and believe it to be a sandman but want to clarify.

    It is more than likely a Sandman but without more proof it is not confirmed.
    It shouldn't have a Sandman emblem in the GTS steering wheel. This was not an option on HJ.

    Factory:

    Kingswood Ute
    L32 = 252 M20 = 4 Speed GU4 = 3.08:1
    Absinth Yellow with Slate Black trim

    Photos of the console mounts? Proof of black-outs or evidence of stripes?

    Nowhere. Advertise it as "Believed to be a Sandman" and let the buyer run their own checks to satisfy themselves.

    Put up the chassis number and all the tags. No one would even start to identify it from one tag.
