    Drifter van

    I know, it's not a Sandman but still, I think a nice example from that period.

    I like it!

    That's in excellent condition, not too often any van or ute of that age come's along presented like this.

    Nice neat van. I think they made 338 Drifters.

    Yep, they were never my cup of tea when they were new, but they've grown on me a bit. That one sure brings back a few memories.

    Chrysler did a pretty good job of building a van considering it was their 1st and only effort. Top tailgate hinges let down the exterior appearance and made it look like a ute with a canopy from the rear, but otherwise they weren't too bad. Back in about 1988 I had a mate with a bunch of Chargers and he had a Drifter the same colour as this one for his parts chaser. It had a 440 with a 4-speed and a Dana LSD rear.... pretty tuff van. (Wonder where it is now?)
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
