    What an awesome van from the past. You never know, it might reappear one day just when you least expect it. Love the newspaper clipping. I wonder what price they had on the SS hatchback?

    If you can get your parents to look for old rego papers and get the engine and/or chassis number i'll see what I can do.

    sandman77hx: the ss hatch was $5399 in bright orange duco with red and deep orange sports paint outs

    HK1837: we have no details wat so ever on paper on the van just from memory which is a shame but this was sold around 79-80 all we know is it was blue 253 manual from factory and was ordered for a farmer who then changed his mind as the hx was just released and this van was tucked away in the back of the yard
