Looks good to be a Sandman from those tags and what I have seen in photos on ebay. I think you've made a typo on body number in your first post. If you are going to buy it get a report from Holden Historic Services (google them) for piece of mind, cost about $100

Thanks sando, I’ll be chasing a report tomorrow.

Report confirmed it’s a sandman. Picked up the car yesterday. I’ll start a thread when we begin. It felt a bit like Christmas when I was a kid picking her up 🙂

Great pick up, always nice to have confirmation and always exciting picking up a new resto project.
Mandarin Red with black interior, red was a popular colour in HJ. Look forward to seeing some pics.

Yep Mandarin red with black interior, very 70s & great looking now. Is it still original running gear? Windows in side panels?

[Sandaro]

I'm biased, but great colour combo and great buy. Look forward to seeing your progress Austral

Side windows in both sides. Engine number not matching unfortunately. Got a qr253 with it along with the running gear. Original rims and a lot of the interior is in tact. Only got to have a quick look over before I left it at a mates place. I’ll post some photos soon on a new thread.
