The suggested price was AUD 250 but I bought mine at a slight discount. I pre-ordered this HZ Sandman in Windsor Blue a few months ago via my regular hobby dealer from Australia. One of the distinctive features is the iconic ‘SANDMAN’ script on the tailgate. The Sandmans were released in various bold and striking colors. Needless to say, Holden were not paying attention to their records management in those days. Production numbers for the Sandmans are unknown as these were produced at various Holden plants while some were designated as commercial vehicles. What we have here is the 4th Sandman iteration after the aforesaid HQ and the subsequent HJ and HX.įront fascia of the HZ Sandman was based on the Holden Kingswood full-size sedan. The original HQ Sandman was released in 1974 to appeal to the younger demographics who were embracing the sun and surf cultures. No wonder it was known as a father’s worst nightmare back in those days… It was known as the Shaggin’ Wagon or Sin Bin for obvious reasons when Holden became creative and sold mattresses as options for the back. Based mostly on Holden’s contemporary full-size sedan line-ups produced in the 70s, this part muscle car part panel van was a dual-purpose vehicle serving your work duties during the week and ‘recreation’ during the weekends. The Holden Sandman is a uniquely Australian motoring marvel.
