History
Bought this beast second hand for $1800 in 1980. Decked out interior with mattress, velour, lamps etc.
Mum spat it when i bought it. "Sin bin" and other names come to mind. Started charging me board after I bought it so I went backwards financially real fast.
Also lost my girlfriend at the time. Her mum wouldn't allow her to go out with me if I bought it so I had to choose. Of course I chose to buy the car. Then I went on to meet my future (and current) wife.
The van stood out and was a magnet for local cops especially with a P plate hanging off it somewhere. It was thirsty and gutless with a 202 Holden engine installed instead of the original 186. Three on the tree got stuck all the time. The van leaked in the dash area when it rained. I was always hitting rabbits with the fibreglass front spoiler so I seemed to be spending most Saturday mornings fillin' and sandin'.
Great for the drive in (anybody remember the drive in and the vans?) The car has great memories for me and the missus. Yep, she stayed with me even though I sold the van and bought a Gemini of all things a year or two later (what was I thinking?)
Often wonder what happened to the car. Last seen in Sale, Victoria in the early 80's. Can't miss it!
Modifications
