"Sandman ute production ceased in March '79 "

there appears to be a special order car , which is now in Hobart, a nocturine blue HZ ute, L31, M41 factory steer and air.

it was brisbane built and tagged XU3 + 5th month/1979.

Can you send/post the ebay ad please Adam?

sorry, no i can't. but Bryon Rich got the tag info, as it was on EBAY twice.

here are some N67 rims.

Was the front spoiler body colour or Black?

[stickthis]

on HZ it was body colour. Same with HZ sedans. It was HJ GTS that got the black spoiler.

[agr071]

Silly question, but wouldn't it look odd with a black spoiler on a full coloured car and a body colour spoiler on a car with black sills??
