Ford 351 Shorts
Main Tag:
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.
