    What is your daily driver? Year, make, model? It's the same car/van? as Mad Max's family car is it not?
    Thanks for posting some different cars to check out. Love the "last of the V8's". It's gotta be one of my all time favorites.

    My brother had a Green HJ SandMan
    it had black interior extra gauge`s bucket seats 4 speed 308 V8
    i use to cruise around in the back with the top tailgate open ( bad fumes but that was the look back then ) I still remember that rumbling sound lol
    he paid about $2500 and it was only about 4 years old
    now a good original one fetch`s around $25000

    My old man had an apprentice who bought, as his first ca,r a Valiant panel van with the lair paint job and 360 Vee 8 ( cant remember what they were called ,but were rare when new) .This clown wrote if off 2 weeks after buying it,and spent the next 4 years paying off the loan.I missed out on getting the wreck by a week as it went to Sims. Today those fetch 5 figures easily WHEN one comes up for sale.
