1975 HOLDEN SANDMAN HJ

Now for sale this fully restored '75 HJ Sandman Panel Van, available for inspection in our Sydney Showroom.

Before the HOLDEN SANDMAN Panel Van, a Panel Van was just a that. A Van. It was a load-hauler that you threw ladders and half empty paint tins into, along with the tools and the wheelbarrow.

With the Sandman, Holden created a whole new genre, something we are quite used to now. But in the early 1970s this was something pretty special. All of a sudden, you could buy a Panel Van painted in wild colours and dressed up with mag wheels, stripes and a GTS dash. This was a Van that was built to enjoy the fun stuff in life like carrying you and a mate off for a dirt bike weekend, a surfing carnival, a fishing expedition or dare we say a dirty weekend.

The Van as a pure work horse was no more. This was specialty transport targeting the younger market that saw a whole new use for the once humble Panel Van.

For sale is a stunning example of the 1975 HJ Holden Sandman Panel Van in Absinth Yellow with black trim. Running the sought after period correct stock 308 5 litre V8 Completely rebuilt with under 300km since rebuild and M21 4 speed manual gearbox, this Sandman was rotisserie restored over a five year period and completed in August 2024.
