I had a HX Sandman P van green 308 4sp.
Also a XC Falcon 5.8L 4sp GS wheels bonnet and grill extractors and dual exhaust stock engine gutless. some drugged up dude owned it before me.
I used them for work and play, wish I still had the HX van.
I still have the XC but it's under the ground now as a mate drove his dozer over it for me righting off his XY GT-HO into a power pole. he was the one who said into it back in 1982 and it just went side ways instantly and into a pole and a fence. he bought a HZ van all decked out not a work car at all but a 308 hotted up to much for a road car fuel, it just about wheel stand taking off, but cost him to much in engine repairs and killing T400 autos.
His van handled real well, but the XY they do not handle, I think I saved his life for sure getting rid of that XY.
