Description:

1978 Holden HZ Sandman Panel Van - Orange - 200,482km - 253ci V8, 4-Speed Manual

Overview
This 1978 Holden HZ Sandman represents one of Australia's most iconic commercial vehicles from the late 1970s. The Sandman package transformed Holden's workhorse panel van into a lifestyle statement, complete with bold graphics and performance credentials. This example features the desirable 253 cubic inch (4.2L) V8 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the classic V8 rumble and driving experience that made these vans legendary among enthusiasts.

The bright orange paintwork appears to have good gloss and presents well, with the iconic 'SANDMAN' graphics prominently displayed on the tailgate and side panels in period-correct purple and yellow. The van sits on aftermarket alloy wheels that complement the overall presentation

Condition
From the photos, this Sandman shows well for its age. The orange paint maintains good shine across the panels, though there are some minor imperfections visible. The front grille and chrome bumpers present nicely, and the panel gaps appear even and consistent. The interior features black vinyl seats with orange piping that matches the exterior theme, and the dashboard appears complete with all gauges intact. The cargo area is fitted out with carpet and appears clean and tidy.
