Some classic cars are special, but this 1978 Holden HZ Sandman is something else.

In this episode of Aussie Garage, Phil catches up with Matt to explore his beautifully restored Atlantis Blue Holden HZ Sandman. Bought new in 1978, this iconic panel van has an incredible history, including a chance encounter that led Matt to reconnect with the original owner’s family.

We take a close look at the Sandman’s 253 V8, factory features, interior, restoration and award-winning presentation, while Matt shares the story behind one of Australia’s most desirable Holden panel vans.

The story doesn’t end there. In the next episode, we join Matt as he meets the original owner for an emotional reunion that every Holden fan will want to see.

If you love Holdens, Sandmans, Australian muscle cars, classic panel vans or survivor cars, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Would you keep the original 253 V8 or swap in a 308? Let us know in the comments!
