Vans on the street

choice

Seen in a local street near my work, very nice van with modern VX SS / CV6 Monaro Rims, had SND MAN Number plate on dash, and also a NSW Club rego label on drivers side front screen - wierd anyone know the owner I left my card and asked if nterested in runs or meets






Thanks
Wally

Also seen a bronze/gold Sandman heading along Pacific Hwy coming into Sansea the other day missed the picture

There great pics Wally.
The purple stands out on the blue tailgate.

old school and new school just don't do it on some vans and that does not (my opinion)

That's why mine is going old school.
Even the raked look.

Yeah love the colour same colour stripes going on my van,

As for wheels not the my cup of tew, had them on my Monaro and to be honest think are better rims out there for them

Its a local van anyone seen it or know of the number plate??

Wally

Flicking through old Street Machine mags and found it in Readers Rides July 2004. Certainly the same one "SNDMAN" plated and VX SS mags as well. Doesn't say where it is though. Hope this helps, Wild Wally.

Cheers XX7

What vehicle is on the front cover xx7??

Black Tonner "PRO 071", also has Spiderbaits Black Betty in it as well

well it lives in a certain european feeling township, and suits it well, with those colours

a scan would be nice if your offering lol, my office and libary only consists of 100's of bloody mini magazines,

Thanks
Wally

Try about 6 or 7 different types of cultures in that european township.

Add several very drunk aussies to the list this arvo, friday means long pub lunch, woo hoo this is what gets me through the week

I will now keep an eye peeled for some vans whilst out and about

Local Van, Genuine Sandman, still original owner and still unrestored with original plates, have had a few chats with this guy and his van will go to the grave with him .

Those colors on sandman look great.What year is the red one?

The red Sandman looks to be a HZ model which is usually '78-79 only small differences with previous model, but that's definately a great example of a non-molested Sandman. ('cept for maybe the stickers came off)

great work groover. - lets hope he doesn't actually take it to the grave with him...
While that would be the coolest coffin of all time, or the first time I heard of being buried WITH the hearse, I think that it might be put to better use with one of us who can look after it for him

No stripes ever put on as the owner ordered without them, have met some other people who done the same as at the time they didnt like the stripes, shame , i love the stripes

Mine was ordered stripeless...

yeah apparently stripes we not very loved at the end, read some where they fell out of favour

Thats wild.. great work Jim.

re stripeless... watching the Aussie Top Gear last nite, apparently stripes are in for Fords & Holdens when sales are low.... so watch out for the latest models with stripes.... they do this, rename or give it a zooped up name, and sell them off when they have excess bodies or sales of current models are low, they did this in the 70's and 80's as well. and, on a brighter note.... for those interested.... the UK Top Gear starts again next week!!!!!! Yippeeeeee

What a great looking pic Jim.
You should be proud of your work.

When you think about it Maz it's very logical BUT why didn't they have a WB Sandman then??
