The Holden Sandman is a sports coupé utility and panel van produced by Holden from 1974 to 1980.[1]
The Sandman featured elements from the Monaro GTS, including gauge cluster, steering wheel, bucket seats, and a fully furnished interior, vinyl stripes, and wheels. The guards featured a "Sandman" logo painted on B pillars, and Sandman written on the tailgate. It utilised a 4-speed manual transmission or an optional 3-speed 'Tri-Matic' automatic, both controlled through a console mounted gear stick.[2][3]
The HQ and HJ Sandman models were available with the following engines: GMH '173' I6 at 118 bhp, GMH '202' I6 at 135 bhp, GMH '253' V8 at 185 bhp, GMH '308' V8 at 240 bhp.[4]
