Ford 351 Magnets
Description: Similar to Holden's Sandman panel van, the Sundowner featured bright colours and sharp paint work, bubble sharp window, spoiler, driving lights, sports steering wheel, driving lights, alloy wheels with XC and XD panel vans receiving the treatment. Escort and Transit van variations were also sold. Featuring a 351 Cleveland motor, the Sundowner wasn’t particularly focused on performance - rather a cruiser for young drivers. Now highly sought after for restorations and with parts hard to come by the Sundowner is rising in value together with the Sandman as well as Chrysler’s version titled the Drifter.

Description: The "Super Roo" sticker was a promotional decal used by Ford Australia to symbolize their performance cars, first appearing on the XW Falcon GT in 1969. It was an Australian variation of the cartoon figures found on US muscle cars, designed to appeal to younger buyers and become the advertising motif for the vehicle. The grinning kangaroo on spinning wheels also appeared on other sporty Ford models. The Ford GTHO was a series of high-performance, Australian-made Ford Falcon models created for motorsport homologation, with the most famous being the XY Falcon GTHO Phase III. It was a powerful muscle car built with a upgraded V8 engine, special transmission, suspension, and brakes to dominate racing events like the Bathurst 500.
