Wax up the Surfboards, this Australian motoring icon of the 70’s is up for grabs!
You won’t have any trouble standing out from the crowd in this car, attention grabbing is the best way to describe the factory Aquarius paint on this. Running the ever-trusty L31 V8 - M21 manual combo as ordered from the factory, you’re never late in a 308! The gearbox has later been upgraded to a 5-speed for more driveability.
Should you choose to get groovy in this “Shaggin Wagon” it doesn’t stop there! It features custom throw pillows with iconic album covers of the era, a Sandman Surfboard and Coca Cola ice chiller, even a pack or 2 of Marlboro darts with Redhead matches after you’ve had your fun. You might however have some explaining to do with the ladies “when the wagon’s a-rockin’” why you have an Ossie Ostrich doona cover!
These days a genuine Sandman from the 1970’s is a prized classic that make people stop & stare, then give you the thumbs up with a big grin on their face as you drive by. The vehicle has been restored to a high standard, with prices only going North for vehicles like these, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

I've seen one of these as a Window less panel van in dark red, factory 304, factory manual and apparently it's one of two made

Nice!!

[@rawknucklesprospecting682]

Is it a hj or a hx? Bowe said hj but it's written up as hx???

[@streetguru3054]

Its got a HX grill and also the charcoal canister that i know early HJ did not have but not sure if it was introduced with late HJ or started with HX

[@andrewmurphy7401]

It's a HX

[@hellenicspirit9849]

Wait a while for the rust to pop out.....

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

Well the car is 46 years old and no rust yet. Look after the Holden's by keeping them clean underneath, and no rust. My 2001 Holden SS Ute has no rust at all, and I keep it very clean, especially underneath.
