HJ Kinswood Absynth Ute

[Jonathon Wheatley]

Hi Sandmen,

What do you make of these tags on my ute?

I'm interested in opinions about Kingswood only or Kingswood Sandman?

The car has black out overspray on floor pan sections under carpet, B pillar trim from hood lining to floor, brown taco wire through firewall plug to GTS dash. Dash pad and glovebox have been changed to Statesman sometime ago and the original engine and box long gone. The rear tray and wheel arches are in excellent condition suggesting it was not a work ute. I've had the car for over 10 years and am at the point of restoration where I put it out there to see if it is a 308 4 speed Kingswood or one of those Kingswood Sandman utes I've heard of, I'm happy with it being either, I just want to restore to original, so looking for opinions as I've had blokes tell me it could be both. Also would it have had a 'single vent' dash system or dual vent? The car was ordered new by Fair Deal Car Sales Parramatta and built in Brisbane.

Thanks,

Jonno.
