1976 Holden HJ Sandman Tribute Utility – Orange – 137,981km – 253ci V8

A striking and well-presented example of a classic Australian utility, this 1976 Holden HJ Sandman Tribute captures the iconic look and spirit of the original Sandman era. Finished in vibrant orange with period-inspired styling cues, this tribute ute offers strong visual presence and nostalgic appeal for enthusiasts seeking a classic Holden with character and everyday usability.


Powered by a 253 cubic inch V8 petrol engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, the vehicle delivers the traditional rear-wheel-drive performance expected from Holden’s classic utility range. The engine bay presents in tidy condition, and the vehicle displays well overall, with a straight cargo tray and clean presentation consistent with a cared-for example.


Inside, the cabin features a black vinyl interior with orange piping detail, complementing the exterior finish and reinforcing the period-inspired theme. The vehicle rides on period-correct steel wheels with original-style trim rings and hubcaps, further enhancing its classic appearance. This Sandman Tribute represents an accessible entry into classic Holden ownership, suitable for weekend cruising, club events or continued enjoyment as a nostalgic Australian icon.
