    "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.

    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??
