Holden HZ Sandman panel van, 308 four-speed, documented, called 2 Oct 2026.
Published before the hammer on 2 Oct 2026, and it will be graded against whatever the car makes. Nothing below is edited once a result is known.
A 1977 Holden HZ Sandman panel van running on Collecting Cars out of Glanmire, Queensland. Flamenco Red over Slate Black vinyl, the 5.0-litre V8 on a four-speed manual, 70,581 kilometres not warranted, first registered in December 1977, VIN 8M70THJ593523Z. Described as a genuine XX7 Sandman with its compliance and trim plates never removed, and carrying a Holden Historical Services production report, the Sandman brochure, the specification sheet and the manuals. Restored, with the matching-numbers engine rebuilt, and upgraded with power steering, integrated air conditioning, front disc brakes, HZ GTS rear discs, a tinted windscreen and 15x8 drop-band wheels.
This record says the Sandman pack is a decal and trim option that is easy to fake, that tributes outnumber genuine vans, and that documentation matters more here than anywhere else in the library. A production report from Holden Historical Services is the document that answers that question, and the record pays 20 per cent for it.
The one lot it holds is an earlier HJ van at $115,000 in August, a hammer before premium, kept as context. So this is called the way this desk calls a record with nothing under it: the model's figure moved down 10 per cent, inside a band of minus 45 and plus 20, because values with no local result behind them have run high seven times in ten (D83).
Against the $105,000 carried: minus 5.7 for 70,581 kilometres against the 40,000 expected, plus 20 for the documented Sandman package, plus 8 for the 308 on a four-speed. Composed, plus 22.2 per cent. The upgrades are not charged: they are period Holden parts and comforts that van owners fit, the table has no row for any of them, and this desk no longer charges for what it cannot price (D95). Flamenco Red scores nothing; the record prices Mandarin Red and Absinth Yellow only.
The model less ten per cent. Predicted hammer $63,500 to $138,500, midpoint $115,500.
A documented XX7 van with a 308 and a four-speed is the specification the tribute market copies.
The restoration and the comfort upgrades move it away from the untouched van some buyers want, and the odometer reading is not warranted.
The call is a prediction of one hammer. The record behind it is the Australian evidence for the model as a whole, and it carries its own grade for how much of that evidence exists.
